I was just at a friends shop & he uses assembly lube in place of regular lube.
Door hinges, ****** shifting rods, hood latch....
Does anyone on the forum use assembly lube for anything else other than engine assembly..
Works great in most Ratchet assemblies on the gears for smooth operation!

Use a dab of it to keep a fastener in a socket. For those hard to reach places.

Antique outboard collectors like myself use Lubriplate 105 assembly grease in the lower units of outboard motors. It is a Grade 0 grease. John Deere Corn Head grease has the same lubricity (viscosity ?) rating. Some people fill lower units with it.
I only restore the Mercury automatic transmission outboards made from 1957 - 1962. I squeeze an entire tube of the 105 into the lower unit and the grease finally exits a vent above the propeller about a foot ensuring that the clutch springs, planetary gears and transmission trunion are lubricated.
