MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
OK, guys and gals, don't hammer me for these stupid questions but I haven't done one of these for a while... Do you put any type of lube on the carbon faced throw out bearing? Or the splines on the input shaft? Or the pilot bearing in the crank? Or do you just assemble it dry? All I can find in the motors manual I have is not to have any sort of lube on the flywheel and pressure plate... WELL DUH..!
Nothing on the throw out bearing. The carbon/graphite is a natural lubricant.
Mark,
My clutch kit came with a red lubricant for the spilot bushing and shaft splines. Instructions stated to lube the splines "lightly".
Thanks Derek & ClayJ for the input, that pretty much covers it, I will leave the T.O.B. dry and put just a dab of some red assembly lube I have on the shaft splines and the pilot bearing... This is what I was figuring I would do but I was just not sure...
