<DIV>Not my area of expertise - but I would guess either molybdenum or teflon based grease would be appropriate.</DIV>

<DIV>I'd be interested to hear rec's from anyone with specific knowledge.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dave,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have it re-assembled except for lubing the gears.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> What grease should I use on the planetary gears ? The main shaft is steel but the planetary gears are nylon, epoxy or plastic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<P>You can also make a 'spanner' out of a flat tip screwdriver you don't care much about -- a little dremel work to take out the center of the blade and you're there... </P>

I made my own wrench from a piece of .125" aluminum. A skinny set of needle nose pliers might also work. You will have some fun putting it back together - the brushes are spring loaded against the commutator and need to be "pinned" open via the pinholes in plastic case/housing on the back end of the body.<BR>><BR>>Good luck,<BR>><BR>>Dave<BR>><BR>>-------------- Original message --------------<BR>><BR>> > My Kavan starter has some trash in the planetary gears.
