Lubing question

[codeman08]

Im sure this has been asked many times but i tried to look and i didnt find anything specific like this so here goes. I just want to know what everyone uses to grease their 05 speeds. I know you are supposed to put a drop of lube(ive been told love juice) in the macroline every 2 cases but not quite sure on the grease. so what type of grease, what do i grease, and how often do i grease. so someone who knows their stuff please help me out....anything is appreciated

[RTKCap]

Well personally I lube up the bolt before everytime I play with love juice. But I seriously use shocker lube which is grease on my internal parts like the Ram and the Mini-Reg and stuff. I do it just about every 10 cases of paint. But there is also grease made specifically for your angel its like some love juice grease stuff but I don't use it.

Y THE F**K WOULD U LUBE THE BOLT, chances of it swellin cauze being delrin r alot greater but for grease I do the ram o-rings and the shaft lightly and thats about it....mainly moving parts

[Bigal1]

you're right, someone has asked before what specifically to grease and I couldn't find that it has been answered well at all here.

Don't grease/oil the bolt. It will swell.

I grease all o-rings because if you don't, they will dry and then crack and then leak.

Then anything else inside the marker that is a moving part gets some grease. DOn't think you need too much and I don't think it hurts to overgrease.

Personally, I've never used Angel's grease and use a good grease from the local paintball store. (no petroleum though)

Ok so basically lube the ram, the mini reg o rings....what about the lpr? and also how do you go about putting the lube in there and how often..

LPR is a moving part so it gets grease.

How often to lube: inside the useful links thread.

Recommend you ask Bob or Ken that same question as I'm not sure the grease I'm using would be their recommendation. All I know is that you can't use any grease with petroleum products in it.

Not as hard as you may think. If you've got a specific question, ask it.
