Grease on Joints

Speaking of wear. I only have around 101 hours on my PT. I bought the (BIG WRENCH) around the 40 hour mark, for the middle joint. I've kept it tight and greased. I noticed what seemed like a lot of play the other day driving around. And it's as tight as it will go.

The center section wears out. And it is a miserable PITA to replace. There are "bearings" in there that have to be replaced, at least that was the case on my 1850.

For specialty applications, yes I have, but I think it is probably wasted on something that gets as dirty as a PT. Other than that, it is a little on the pricey side.

All the best,

Don't add them to the hydraulic fluid if you have wet brakes! (I asked...)
