Lube Experts: Moly Paste for Slip Yoke?

I see a lot of people using Red N Tacky with a zerk fitting, but has anyone ever used moly paste to lube their slip yokes? Honda uses it to lube the splines in their driveshaft, and I don’t see why it would be an issue to use. Any input would be great!

 

Anything? Anyone even heard of this stuff?

 

I am very familiar with the Product: Use it in High temperature applications it is considered Anti Seize However it does have 65% Molly in it and Honda Bike guys are using it without issues going on 2 years. What I am not aware off is the cling rate for it and because it is being used on a spline it is being contained.

LOCTITE® MOLY PASTE • Formulated to protect assemblies during break-in period • Metal-free formula lubricates assemblies, especially press fits under high static loads withstanding temperatures to 750°F (399°C) • Allows maximum clamping from available torque • Where high load exposure is constant • Stainless steel applications

 

When I replaced the rear wheel bearings in my Honda VTX, I picked up a container of the stuff to lube the shaft drive splines. But now that I have a bunch of it left over, I’d like to use it up and hoping it’ll work on the Tacoma.

 

It is not Specified for that kind of duty on Bearings, it does not have a Cling Rate applied to it so the risk is it may all get spun out of the Bearings. On the Spline it could be OK because it is Contained in a non independent rotating location ( inter Spline and outer Spline both turn together) go to < www.loctite.com > and you can search for more clear information there it is a Henkel North America company.

 

Sorry if I didn’t make that clear. I had to disassemble the drive shaft in order to get to the bearings. Once the bearings were replaced, I re-lubed the drive shaft splines with the moly grease, and now have a bunch left over. Hence why I’m thinking that if it works on the splines in a motorcycle drive shaft, it should work on the splines in a truck drive shaft.

 

I think a #2 grease with Moly is whats required, if this stuff is considered a #2 grease w/Moly id say yes

 

I can Ask our Loctite Guys on Monday, I know that the Loctite Moly Paste is for Spline lubrication. I am going to try to attach a PDF I don't know if it will let me.
