I recently switched from super lube to moly based CRC brake and
caliper lube.? The moly based stuff, to my senses, handles higher
friction loads considerably better.? I am using custom spring
loaded worms that have constant pressure, and no back-off bolt
like the OEM SLW has.? Due to the constant pressure of the spring,
I felt the super lube wasnt robust enough to stay in place over
time.?
However with a stock 2-piece worm block and static mesh, super
lube is cheap, readily available, and has been proven to work well
across many many mounts.? I'd also suggest steering clear of
lithium grease.
Good luck,

I have just finished taking out the backlash from my 1992 steel
wormed CG11.? I had the gearbox off and the Oldham connector.?
During this process I removed a small amount of lube from the
bearings (reduced to thick guck) and from the steel worm gear.?
Now it is all back together I see that the worms and gears
assemblies? look a bit under lubricated.? I do not wish to
dismantle the whole thing and clean off the old worm grease.? I
would rather add a small amount of lube to what's already there.?
Questions, what?
I quite like white lithium grease but am reluctant to mix it with
what has already been doing a fine job since 1992.
What product do I use on the worms please.
Thanks.
Pete
