id go for something a bit thicker, so it dont fling off onto the back wheel, like a grease gun grease ??

My mate has his own garage business, MOT station and paint shop, unlimited use of his stuff is o problem but I have to look after his network, computers and his kids stuff as well, a good deal for me as I get to do what I want.

Thought I'd get the wheel off now in readiness for tomorrow. The nut that has the cotter pin through it wasn't that tight at all. No way was it 94 ft/lbs. A small amount of force and it turned.

Another reason why you should do your own maintenance.
