Tony Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Use the one intended for the poly's, this will not degrade the rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Use the one intended for the poly's, this will not degrade the rubber. Thought from the title we were talking about getting Momentum nozzles in small holes again Was going to suggest KY jelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Use the one intended for the poly's, this will not degrade the rubber. The nut and rubber sit on the top of the shock in the boot ,can i just undo the nut and lube with all 4 wheels on the groundnor do i have to lift up the car and support the hub with a jack ? As its my first attempt at anything like this !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Lithium grease or vasaline will do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 You will need to get the weight off the wheels to undo the nut , you can just do one corner at a time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e4tnu Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 The nut that holds the damper rod into the top hat , does that need to be air gunned off and on or are hand tools ok ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
