Heh heh, he said lube.

I have Silicon lube, DuPont Teflon Lube, and WD40 (which I hear eats rubber). Should I just get some white lithium?

Thanks!

Default You could use water if you wanted. Anything wet should do.....
if you're just trying to get the hanger on. I use wd40 myself.

No, it's squeaking - I guess I'll use Teflon lube.

are you sure they're rubber, or are they urethane?
