Installation of the Tom Woods drive shaft calls for silicone for the Flange. I don't want to put the wrong stuff in there. Do I need silicone gasket maker or silicone lube?

 

Going with white lithium grease...

 

I don't recall that step. Is it talking specifically about grease? And does it actually say 'flange'? I assume that it was shipped with yokes?


If it is about the grease, Tom has some info on his website about grease and maintenance. May be worth a few minutes to look through it all.
I went with Lucas Red N Tacky, just because that was the best that was available at my local parts store. A lot of people recommend white lithium. And I think northridge carries a good grease that you could check out.

 

what he said - basically, you want to use RTV and NOT grease.

 

So I used the wrong stuff. How big of a deal is it? Is it something I should be worried about? I really didn't see the point of using it except to let it slide on easier..??

 

I'll keep an eye on that, Thanks. But here in a few months when I get bored and want to show my rig some TLC or PMCS (preventative maintenance checks and services) should I remove it and put RTV on there instead? Or is it just not that big of a deal, so long as there is no leaking...
