Copper grease is not a perfect match with alloys really, tends to go dry and create the foisting scenario. We use alcoa hub grease at work for majority of steel against alloy applications, wheels/bolts/mating surfaces in general, its pretty expensive i believe but we’re a pretty big workshop so fairly go through it and it really does make a difference we find. Anything mineral based is the best option, you’ll be fine using copper grease or any grease really as long as you pay attention to the bolt often enough i.e just slacken it and retighten it every so often to stop any foist starting “anything wets a good bet” as they say in the lube world [emoji106]

Good job on the extraction [emoji106] as an aid to the future, refit your new bolt with some grease that is specific to use with alloy materials, and every once in a while remove and retreat. Some litte and often tlc on your equipment here and there will save you plenty in the long run and reward you in your pocket at the same time.

Like it! [emoji108] The perfect half would be far easier to work with/build around. The jug shaped one.... bit harder to deal with and course you have the holes to deal with but sure you’ll muster something up.

Ratman replied to cryptogram's topic in Maintenance help
Remove the bowl and then main jet/emulsion tube, clean it “thoroughly” (and i say thoroughly cos had to do it twice on my honda/bomag whacker plate) what sometimes appears clean really isn’t clean enough. Ensure all gaskets etc are in tact too, clean and check as you go, preparation/cleanliness is the key. -

99% of what i get is “green” then i split it and dry/store accordingly, i’m not regulated?.... whos gona control me?

Like what you buy off a forecourt at your local garage..... labelled up as “kiln dried” less than 20% moisture, blah blah blah. Yet said garage has left it sat outside in the rain for 3 days..... is it still classed as “kiln dried” errr yes, according to the label, but in reality it might as well be treated as green wood all over again!
