I finally got my new quick release chuck in from LHR and plan on installing it tonite whem I get home from work (I forgot to buy the purple locktite last night).
My question is this; should I lube the new chuck with anything before I install it? Out of the box the release mechanism seemed to be sort of sticky so I sprayed some white lithum grease on it in order to get it working smoothly (it worked) I wiped off the excess now I plan to install should I do anything else first?
One side note, I had to use a heat gun to loosen the locktite that was on the original chuck; in doing this I found out that a hot heat gun looks just like a cool heat gun,.....BUT FEELS DIFFERENT!
Thanks for your help
