Scott Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm fitting some refurbished wishbones etc and I'm looking to re-fit the ABS sensor. I'm fairly certain the one I took out, before it crumbled to bits, had a lot of gooey white grease stuff all over it. Should I be replacing this grease when fitting the "new" one? If so, what sort of grease should I be using? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) As far as I'm aware just regular grease will do, it's just to make the seal between the sensor and the hub waterproof. It'll be the tub of grease with the small paint brush permanently in it, pretty sure that's what most grease tubs end up looking like, must be a male trait.

Ian C Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'd use high temp stuff in that region for two reasons. One, heat from the brakes will be close by. Two, it's the only type of grease I have handy in the garage. Reason #2 may not apply to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Lithium grease ordered. While I'm here, do the ball joints go back together easy enough? Looking at them they spin where I'll be tightening down, is there a method or do I just grip it to tighten down? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
