Trim “jack screw” lube

[Mark Shayne]

Any advice for lubricating the  threaded portion of the trim adjustment under the pilots seat?  My A&P suggested silicone spray lube as it is dry and wouldn’t attract any contaminants like LPS3 might. The mechanism works fine dry, but I’d sure like to help it out so it will last longer.

I always used grease, but the silicone should work, provided all the existing lube has been washed off. Esso put out a lube chart for the Collegiate. I'll have to look through my files for it and scan it to post here.

Thanks Andy.
