Re: G11 bearing lubrication

I would strongly advise against lithium grease.? Use Superlube or a synthetic Moly grease. ? Paraffin and or petrol work well to remove old grease as do proprietary engine cleaners such as ¡°Gunk¡±. ? David ?

Subject: [Losmandy_users_io] G11 bearing lubrication ? My first post.
I have a real old circa 1992 Celestron G11, I do annual clutch cleaning but I have not done much to the four bearings on RA & DEC axis and they are in need of cleaning and re-lube. My question; for removing the old grease is WD-40 the right solvent? I have White Lithium Grease for lubrication after clean up.
Appreciate any other tips in connection to this basic maintenance issue.
