LDA grease
« on: March 09, 2008, 05:19:44 pm »
Should there be grease inside the LDA? Not errant diesel, this is wheel bearing type grease. I don't see the purpose and it's getting cleaned out right now.

Thanks

Thanks Andrew -

Looks like someone thought this was a wheel bearing.

A few years ago, I picked up a New In Box TD pump.  The LDA pin was coverd in black moly grease.
