Wow

what a difference it makes when you lube it up.

 

what did you use to lube your keyhole?

 

Use a small amount of graphite lube, or lithium grease, i agree it works a lot better and puts less wear on the key and the tumblers.

 

Doesn't this belong in the lounge?

Oh, you mean your car!

 

how old are u sled? you act like one of my 16 year old friends

 

16 year old friends? how old does that make you, 17? haha jk

 

16, im just saying, everything is something sexual to him

 

Funny I did doth of mine last week. Much better!

 

So did you guys just lube up the key before you stuck it in?

Wow, that sounds so wrong, lol

 

Yea I need to pickup some graphite lube, mine its notchy and will set off the alarm half the time due to not catching properly.

yeah it sildes in easier when you lube it up. snicker snicker

 

I just force it in there, and move it around. Sometimes it gets bent and on occasion it has been known to break. Thanks for the tip, from now on, plenty of lube will be used!

 

That's what she said.


Astro Glide or any other non-petroleum based lubricant.

 

You gotta admit though, there are 60 y/o women that would snicker at the title of this thread.

 

yeah....plenty of those here

 

ITs a male thing, that some don't grow out of. Not that Im one of those! lol

I dont know if this was a good idea but I stuck my key into a bottle of Pettit fuel lubricant and put it in the keyhole. Even after months of use (then even more months of sitting) the door locks feel better than my new car. SMOOTH.

 

Protek R rules. I brush my teeth with that ****.

 

What made you "jump to the conclusion" I was taking it in a sexual way?

More to the point.....This is not a 3 Gen specific post.

IM sure our 1st & 2nd Gen brothers & sisters could use this revelation








Nah, IM just ******* with you, I was totaly thinking about it in a sexual way.............It does apply & is good advice.

But what's next......In depth posts on tire inflation???
Or that if you not only wash, but wax your car it looks better???

 

Trust me, lube does work...

 

(heh, this thread was just asking for it)

 

Mercedes make a special grease for their mechanical locks that also contain microswitches for the alarm system.

Graphite would cause a "short" since it is conductive.

It is Mercedes pn# A 001.989.26.51 10

It has a special applicator to "open" the lock's front cover, and it is special grease that does not gum, harden, and minimal attraction to dust.

I've used on my '93 FD with no problems, and every lock is nice and smooth in its action.
