Rotor grease - More

[Bill Marx]

If you are repairing rotors up north, I would be using a synthetic lube
based grease. This will not freeze or thicken at least until the temperature
approaches - 48 degrees F. Also, it is very stable at ultra high temp.
Further. it is probably very expensive. No need for the properties here in Florida...This info from Tom Mannix WA4YLD who rebuilds
rotors here in Sunny Hot Florida.
