Does anyone have a source for 14 oz tubes or a good alternative? Everything Ive come across indicates you have to do a complete gun disassembly to switch to a different grease.

I suspect not. I made the switch when I had my prop serviced last year.

They have been using the new grease for several years now. There will be a sticker on the prop hub (mostly hidden by the spinner front plate) that will say what grease is used. They say that if you use the wrong grease, you have 25 hours to get the prop torn down, cleaned and resealed. Don=99t ask me how I know. Make sure you use the grease that is in the hub. Also, most prop shops tell me that the grease needs to be added every 100-500 hours (differing based on the source), not necessarily every year.

However, Aeroshell 5 can be mixed with 6 (you have to placard against low temperature operations, I forget the number but it's pretty cold.) if you can find that. In line with an earlier post, I know of at least one A&P who recommends never re-greasing the hub, as over-greasing causes all sorts of problems. Of course this is contrary to Hartzell's instructions, do at your own risk. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=509477#509477 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
