Another great video, Serge! Good that you mentioned the big washers to keep the bushing from getting pushed out of the A-arm pieces. That happened to me!
With regard to lubing the trunnions. There has been some discussion about using grease vs oil on the yahoo group. I would say that although the manual specifies 90 wt gear oil for the trunnions, that moly grease is better in this application. I have a friend who worked at Shell Oil for twenty five years and although he didn't work with formulating or testing oils and greases, (he did work several years at a grease plant that at the time made half the grease in the world!) he kept up with it pretty closely so he is the guy I go to with most lube issues. I asked him for his advice for lubricating the trunnions and here's what he told me:
First things first: Use a lithium 2 hydroxystearate grease with moly in it. Virtually all modern greases with moly are lithium 2 hydroxystearate, so if you get a good moly it will work just fine. Moly is important for your application because it is the ideal lube for sliding friction. Grade 2 grease outperforms 90W gear oil in every respect since it has low shear, high film strength, and won't seep away over time (plus it works in grease guns).
All of that isn't to say that gear oil is wrong - that's what's in the workshop manual! - but that moly grease should provide better lubrication in this application. It also would not surprise me to find that the manuals predate the availability of moly grease!
Anyway, thanks again for a great video. If you continue with them, it will make it easier for the next restorer!
