mixing NLGI2 grease with multi purpose grease

keep me posted, it's not a big deal to clean and relube. would not be the first time a manufacturer had wrong info.

his thread got me to thinking tat maybe I should service/lube my trusty Reese 15K.

Dayum, I had to use a brass drift and two pound hammer to knock the tilt pin out. So it is all taken care of now. hope it works with lube on it. :R

Dang Dave...forget about that hammer, just move on from that "trusty old Reese"!! Get a new Patriot 16K, drop it in your old rails, and enjoy the ease of use, including the ZERK!

I've read your post about being "older than dirt"! Why not spend a small bit of your fortune on a new/improved hitch? You can't take that money on your next journey, enjoy it now!:W

Thanks!

Have to say that's the first time I have seen that spec!!!

"As needed, grease the polyurethane bushings with multi-purpose grease"

I just sent them an email on this subject.

As your President of the "B&W HEAVYWEIGHT FANBOY CLUB" I have a message from headquarters regarding their manual stating multipurpose grease to be used on the polyurethane head mounts! See below


Ron,

Thank you for your inquiry. We greatly appropriate you bringing this to our attention. This is a typo in our Companion owner's manual. We will be getting this corrected. White lithium grease is what we recommend as the best grease to use on your polyurethane bushings. If you have any questions please feel free to let me know.

Once again, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Thank You,

Casey

looks like I will be getting some white lithium grease. LOL What a typo!
PS what is the best way to clean the grease off the bushings?

I just wipe off what's left on there with a paper towel and reapply whatever kind of grease I have handy.

Ditto, with proper grease at each location.

thanks
