Looking at the failed joint the grease had completely dried - very odd considering the rubber was fine (I've actually kept the rubber as a spare).

Oh, and in case you're worried, I cut the nut off because the thread had rusted. It hadn't snapped...

This time I've gone for Fahren units - cheaper & shinier - so we'll see how they go.


Why not invest in some copper grease when assembling threads on such as droplinks as in the long term can save you blood sweat and tears when it comes to removal
