[Chevelle-list] Z Bar Grease

I am rebuilding my Z Bar. The old grease that was in it was pretty dark and thick - almost like wheel bearing grease - could have been just old. The grease fitting will make it easy to fill back up. What type of grease is supposed to go in the Z Bar? Thank you for the help! Krister Meister

Without the plugs, there's no compression as you state, and without the plugs, the engine is very easy to turn over. Try turning the engine over with a ratchet on the balancer bolt (or use a crank socket) with the plugs in and then try it without the plugs and you'll seehow much easier it is

GM calls for Graphite grease, #9985011 but most people over the years used the same chassis grease as the ball joints. Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 ChevelleReference CD http://www.chevellecd.com ACES #1709/TC Gold #92 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Thanks for the information Jim. It is setup for coil springs and measures 54 3/8 between backing plates. It appears straight. No drums or brake parts. Thinking about install disk brakes and not interested in the drums. Leo - Original Message - From: Jim H. Thompson
