Installing NOS clutch bellcrank, and was wondering what and how much lube you guys/gals apply to the ball studs (one screwed into the block and the other at the frame bracket). I see the '65 AIM calls for moly di-sulfide grease at six locations on the clutch activation train [20 lbs per 1000 jobs (0.64 oz per car at six locations), so it must have been used sparingly].
I'm certainly not going to inject the whole inner tube with this grease, as would have been done (per owner's guide) "--- at 36,000 miles or sooner, if necessary, remove (red plastic) plug, install lubrication fitting and lubricate with lubricant specified in NOTE 1 [= water resistant EP chassis lube]".
So what are we talking here ? a dab (of what ?) the size of the tip of your middle finger, spread around the ball and seats (outboard) and the ball [or the inner tube surface ?] on the engine side ? I'll be pushing daisies before this car ever sees another 36K miles
