Grim Reaper Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just received a new CRB today and have tried it on the gearbox nose for fit, it does but I have noted it feels a bit tight. Also the steel nose piece has wear marks from the old CRB on it. given it a rub down with some 1200 wet & dry b ut the wear marks are quite deep so don't want to remove them completely for fear of making it too loose. Is it acceptable to use some lubricant on the nose (thinking something like Graphogen) to help the CRB slide on it and try to minimise further wear?

Wrightpayne Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Generally you don't lubricate any of the clutch components as it will attract dust and eventually clog up. There is an eBay seller who manufactures nose pieces for the ford gearbox - I have one of his on my 6 speed set up which is ally with a steel sleeve.

6speedmanual Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Graphite Powder Dry, does not clog, remains in place for a very long time as it seems to get rubbed into the surface of the material it is lubricating. Used it on many a spigot bearing, release bearing sleeve, started bendix, etc Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
