jiggity76 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 The STE has really stiff hinges and door latches right now. What would be good to use to loosen/lubricate them up so everything works smoother? Is WD-40 a no no? I want to use a spray so I can really get into hard to reach areas. Quote
pshojo Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Try Graphite spray. jiggity76 1 Quote
mfewtrail Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Silicone w/ ptfe is the GM recommendation I believe. WD-40, engine oil, etc. will all work fine though. jiggity76 1 Quote

rich_e777 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Posted November 19, 2019 3n1 oil works great and the bottle has a long nozzle, a couple of drops of 5w, 10w etc motor oil works great too. jiggity76 1 Quote
1 of 996 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 Castle Thrust The only thing guaranteed to work. Spray it on, fully work the hinge back & forth several times until free, wipe off access and spray with white grease. jiggity76 1 Quote
