Any handy list out there to translate all the mil spec stuff in the service manual to English for an old guy. 

 

Thanks

MIL-G-81322 (superseded by MIL-PRF-81322) is Aeroshell 22

MIL-G-23827 (superseded by MIL-PRF-23827) is Aeroshell 7

MIL-G-3545 (obsolete, superseded by MIL-PRF-81322) was Aeroshell 5 and you can use Aeroshell 22

LASAR sells10% moly grease for Dukes actuators. (You can't find a commercial grease with more than 5% moly).

You can look up mil specs. at http://everyspec.com/

You can find mil-qualified products at https://qpldocs.dla.mil/search/default.aspx (you will have to get around the fact that this site frequently has an out of date SSL certificate)

I am curious what is being used to lubricate the trim shaft in planes that have the old phenolic bearing blocks...

Aeroshell 33?

Not sure but some brand names would be helpful for the mil specs

[tigers2007]

Grease guns start at around $13 on eBay. I think the ones with the rubber hoses are about $20 each. Consider that too when CB budgeting.

Did you read the link I provided?  It offers exactly that as does PT20J in his post.  What exactly is unclear?

Aeroshell is the brand name that is the most common.

Mil spec stuff is made by lots of companies. It should all be the same.
