5ht Wheel hitch grease - the definitive

Took delivery today of a B&W graphite impregated plastic disk.

I have a 4 way articulating head///pivots fore/aft and side/side

Once a year:
I pull side pins that allow fore/aft and clean/grease them...thin film of moly bearing grease
I pull large center pin that allows side/side and clean/grease it...heavier film of moly bearing grease

Twice a year:
I spray a quick shot of white lithium grease on jaw pivot points

As needed.....thin film of moly bearing grease on King pin where Jaws make contact

All year long..........plastic/nylon/teflon plate (whatever it is made of)

No grease on head surface/plates etc (then none on me or my clothes)

Nylon plate and so far that's it.

I have the B&W hitch and grease it where required, which translates to the zerks, the saddles, and the hitch jaws. Basically anywhere there is metal to metal contact, or the possibility of wear. I use the nylon/teflon disc on the fifth wheel pin.

Nylon plate and a very small amount of grease on the pin.

Use a nylon plate and do not use grease. :)

All you need is the nylon plate on the pin box. I lightly grease the pin in the recess area, and also a thin coat on the jaws. I use teflon trailer hitch lube on pin and jaws.

I don't use grease either but I use an Andersen and the manual explicitly says not to use it.

I use the nylon plates exclusively. Have never used grease on the hitch other than the mechanical parts.
