Ralph,
Where do you get this lubricant? I see it in Australia and the UK, but not
at Spruce.

Lubricant I've been using is CRC Tac-II which is a spray on compound where
the propellant carries the lubricant into the bearing before evaporating
off. The mechanics used a similar product Wurth2000 on Cessna aileron
hinges, that traditionally were lubricated with graphite - not the best
combination with aluminium parts I'd have thought

[quote="Tommy Walker"]Earnest,
There are two options for this. One is to use a general lubricant, such as motor
oil. The other is to replace the bearing material with an oil impregnated
bronze bearing. The bearings on the surfaces you mention is 1/4 OD and 3/16 ID.
I think you can find this material at places like McMaster-Carr.
One of the contributors on this forum has said the he got approval from Zenith
to substitute this bearing material for the supplied bearing material.
Please post pictures of your airplane after the re-assembly.
Good luck and do not archive my posts.

For what it's worth I use low viscosity (85 or 90) gear lube, like you would use
in your Rotax gear box. It is the best for smooth operation that I have found,
bar none. One drop on a small bearing will last a long time. I tried several
different lubes on our hanger door hinges. when I lubricated them with gear
lube I couldn't believe how smoothly they operated and it lasted a lots longer
then anything I'd used before. It will make your airplane stick and rudder pedals
feel like silk.

to Les,
The CRC TacII chain lubricant and the Wurth2000 product are both sold
in aerosol cans in NZ. As CRC is available in many countries you should be able
to locate a similar formulation at a motorcycle, car or industrial supplies
outlet. It may be labelled as a dissolvable grease. It worked well for the rod
ends and bellcranks in the Cessna and I use it on all the 701 bearings, turnbuckles
and external bolts&nuts as to keep the humid environment away.
