what brand of grease base silicon should I buy. wd40 specialist,

I did not use any silicon. Grease based or other. Screw on the end of hose tightly and your good to go.. These nozzles ROCK!

You should use plumber grease. It is sold at home centers in small red containers. A little goes a long way and the grease will keep the o-rings soft.

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash awayfrom the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

I use only the Icon brand belt lubricant as it is the same as what they use at the factory before shipping. If I'm not mistaken, the company advises against the use of silicon oil. I have no problem using the Icon brand belt lubricant.

Only NSF (Public Health and Safety Organization) registered H1 greases have been approved by the USDA to have "incidental contact" with food in applications common to most food processing plants. As a result, these stable high viscosity greases (especially the synthetic versions) are a bit more expensive by volume with a wide range of expected extreme applications ranging from use on bearings, chains, conveyors, slides, pumps, gaskets, and yes even as a o-ring lube. NSF registered H1 synthetic greases with Teflon like Synco Chemical Corp 3 ounce Super Lube 21030 or Tri-Flow 3 ounce TF23004 are a significant performance step up from the 2 pound can of non-NSF registered Whirlpool Benalene 930-2 being sold. More information can be found by searching with phrase "Nonfood Compounds - White Book". The first on the list returned should have a ".asp" link that will take you to the NSF nonfood categories. Scroll down to H1 and press the "Search" button for the result listing of approved lubricants with incidental contact around food.

No! These tubes of grease were made for a mini-gun. While I can't say anything about the grease itself, there is nothing wrong with buying a mini-gun for your wheel bearing grease. If this is all you have to grease, go for it. The Lincoln gun is an excellent piece, but an overkill for 2 to 6 wheel bearings. Go for the mini.

I would check directly with the Royal Purple folks on that question. One of the key attributes of wheel bearing grease is its ability to withstand high heat levels. I'm not sure general use grease like 01312 contains those additives. You don't want to find out the hard way that it may not. All that being said, I have been using the Royal Purple 01312 on my cars and ATV's and its great stuff. The grease stays put, even on U-joints, and retains its lubrication properties long after regular grease has disappeared. Good stuff.

I always use synthetic 10w30. It is a great all weather oil and you change it every 40 hours.

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

Spray tube from WD 40 or any spray lube, like silicone or such. Also, a stir stick like they have a Starbucks might be the right size. I haven't checked.

I talked to the Icon tech support today and he told me not to use silicone based product. He said their 219167 is a wax based product.

Good question Jack... all I can suggest is you read my review and any reply's I've made to other comments and reply's. From what I can tell, Slick 50 is oil with "magic stuff" in it (the "people" at Slick 50 call "magic stuff" proprietary ingredients). IF you believe in "magic stuff" then buy Slick 50. Just find yourself a good, honest mechanic and get his/her opinion and guidance. btw, don't drink some of the "koolaid" you read here... lot's of "hearsay" and "truthiness" abounds.hth,HiP

This grease is not the OEM grease used by Kitchen Aid. However, it is a food grade product and is supposedly of higher quality; it is cheaper as well. It seems to work fine for my Kitchen Aid Mixer.

Don't use WD-40! WD-40 will dissolve bearing grease. You have some options. If your rollers are old, perhaps 10 years or more and they are steel you may want to replace them. If you want to try and re-lubricate the rollers use lithium grease. Many of them have a spray tube to help get the lithium grease on the bearings. If you decide to change the rollers it is fairly easy especially if you have room to work. I had mine changed within an hour of delivery from Amazon. You should also inspect all the cable pulleys. If you can moved or wobble them side-to-side they may need to be replaced. The entire cost of replacing my rollers and pulleys was about $35. Good luck. Don't use WD-40!

I used a good, high quality wheel bearing grease. By the way, they're working well! I hope that helps Kevin!

wd40 is a penetrating oil not a all the time lube so use a drop of gun oil or multi purpose oil, wd will work for a bit but will eventual gum up with debris

This is the grease that I researched and used for my mixer and it worked great. The grease breaks down over time and simply needs to be replaced
813905
yes you will as this is a food grade grease. My mixer was noisy and leaking yellowish colored grease. After all old grease removed, cleaned and repacking the mixer runs great and real quite. Hope this helps.
