Got the window regulator repair part from Carter today (the crank where the handle attaches). Putting in the new gear, would you suggest putting any grease or lubricant in there before putting it back together?

The old part contained some oil, but mostly dirt.

Thanks for the advice - Bruce

Yep, I'd pack it up with a light grease. Just about any would
do, I would use a light chassis grease. I'd stay away from a
heavy fiber grease like that used for axle bearings, that's
getting really hard to find but you may have some on your
shelf. Have used Lubricate in the past but I've found that
it dries out over time.
Oil isn't going to stay in there very long and this will
probably be the only time it will ever be lubricated.

Lubricate or Lubriplate, Denny?

I had not heard/read that name in many years. Which of their products would you recommend (if that is what you referred-to)?
