Posted on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 - 03:55 am:        Hello all, I have a 1951 or 52 Nikon rangefinder 8.5 2.0 lens that needs the helicoil regreased. Can anyone tell me, or direct me to the procedure for separating the helicoils for a thorough cleaning and relube. Also a recommendation for obtaining the correct grease or modern improved equivalent. Thanks!   Rick_oleson Tinkerer Username: Rick_oleson Post Number: 1148 Registered: 07-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

I use white lithium grease for helicals; some people prefer silicone grease. [email protected]
