Default brake grease question


"John Chaplain" John wrote in message
...
I've been using Lubriplate 110 brake grease on some of the brake parts
(the star and screw) for my salt water trailer but they rust up locked
in short order.

Can anyone suggest another type of grease that would protect against
salt water better?

I installed a flush kit this season and I hope it will also help.

Thanks for any input.

Have you tried a lithium based grease?

Problem with greases is that there are a wide range of types for different
purposes and applications. The "blue" bearing grease typically sold as a
"marine" type is supposed to have superior water resistant properties.
