hey guys, i just wanted to know if you need to lubricate new stat gear and rotor bearings while installing them, im guessing yes and with petroleum Jelly.

let me know if im wrong

thanks
Dennis

 

You do need to lubricate those parts when installing. Don't use petroleum jelly. The petroleum jelly is only used to hold seals in place for installation. As soon as you start the motor the jelly burns away. Gone. You need to lubricate with oil. I used a mix of motor oil and STP. 50/50 mix.

 

im not sure that i made it completely clear, sorry

im mean do you lubricate a new set of bearings when intsalling them into the rotors and stat gears on a hydraulic press with the tools from atkins

 

That's a good question. I didn't need to replace mine. Help me out on this one guys whose done it.

 

im not sure i needed to, but i decided i would just to be safe and have new parts

 

I would think petroleum jelly like you said would be fine.

 

Theres some nifty lubricating oil at mazdatrix.

 

is it the neo stuff they sell?
