DeanGrose Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Anyone know which grease to use on the numerous grease fittings associated with the landing gear. Thanks,
RobertoTohme Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 As the former owner of your hotrod, I can tell you firsthand: Aeroshell 22. Hope you're enjoying it as much as I did! Best.
Steve65E-NC Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 I don't want to argue. But others have mentioned Aeroshell 6, same as Propeller hub, and white in color. Can someone clarify. The 6 has the advantage that I already have it on hand for the Prop.
danb35 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 What does the maintenance manual say? If you're going to be doing any work on your plane, you really should be following what the book says. FWIW, my manual calls out MIL-G-7711 grease for the landing gear grease fittings, with a note that that's equivalent to Aeroshell 6. A web search indicates that MIL-G-7711 has been replaced by MIL-PRF-81322, which spec is met by Aeroshell 22. But that's my manual for my '67F--check the manual for your Acclaim.
Shadrach Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 My MX manual for a C,E,F,G calls for MIL-G-7711 (AS#6) or MIL-G-81322 (AS#22)... I just keep #6 and #5 around. #6 for the airframe and prop and #5 for the wheel bearings.
RobertoTohme Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 MX manual for M20TN calls for 22... and that's what is used on my M20S as well.
