Put a new rear tyre on so lubed shaft splines as usual. The previous application of moly looked to be carry more moisture than I’ve seen before, was a thick slime rather than the normal paste consistency. I’m going to redo it, (degrease the shaft splines completely and do the best I can with the counterpart fitments, then re-moly.
I’ll check the boot for water ingress, but any other thoughts?
TIA, Stu
