Took the wheels out of my newly acquired Scottish yesterday. Understand how the gearbox is removed from the rear back plate and that the drive gear on the hub is a left hand thread to be hit with a wooden drift (I have read all the relevant threads on here, thanks to all contributors). A previous owner had lathered the gears in Castrol lithium grease, some of which inevitably has found its way onto the brake shoes - not a good idea. So my question to you experienced folks is what lubrication do you apply to the speedo gears which will not be detrimental to the braking efficiency?
Thanks in advance for any experiences that you can pass on.
