Axis grease/lubs


Reid Williams
 

I have a GM-8/Gemini on order and one question that I have has to do
with some Losmandy owners having to redo the grease on their G11/GM-8
mounts.

Does Losmandy use a special shipping grease?

Has anyone asked Losmandy why the sticky grease is even being used?

This group has been helpful in answering just about all the other
questions I had (just be searching by keyword), and I have found the
procedures to redo the grease. Thanks.

Hello To All
The bearing came packed in a shipping oil, after we installed them
they were then lubricated with a Lithium grease. The mixture of
this grease and the shipping oil whould harden in a year or two.
What we are doing now is cleaning the bearings of all shipping oil
and greasing them with Slick 50.
