High Pressure Grease on Threads

When using things like spring compressors, and harmonic pullers, these are really great tools, but also there is a risk involved with them. Usually risk involves actually having this come free from the spring, when you're doing some pulling, or when there's some compressing with any tool like this what the cause of the main issues with these are, is the fact that without any kind of lubrication you basically have metal against metal. As soon as you're starting to compress a spring there's a lot of tension then applied to that fastener and as you continue to compress it begins to buildup heat, and that friction then causes the fastener itself to fail. As soon as this nut would come free and that spring wold suddenly expand it becomes a weapon. Actually you could injure yourself quite severely with that.

So whenever you're using a puller or any type of device that you're going to compress or pull something up you're going to be using a lot of force on, you want to use a good quality baring grease on the threads. In this case we use a heavy duty, extreme pressure baring grease. What this does is, It prevents this nut, not only does it lubricate the surface and make it so this nut will travel smoother, and you'll be able to compress it easier. But because there's no friction, it doesn't build up the heat causing the unit to possibly fail. Whenever you're using one of these devices, use a good quality high pressure grease.

Then when you're done, just simply wipe it off. You don't need to get 100% of it off, but you need to clean it and that way not only the thin layer of grease remains. Prevents corrosion, it will also be ready for you to use next time.
