I have some Dow Corning 33, really cold resisting, -400 degree stuff if you would like to use some. I brought it with me from my first marriage. ;) Just kidding. It's good for gun parts that must function in sub zero climates. Quoting Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com>:

Kurt, Thought I'd let you know how I've got on with my Vixen GP-DX regrease efforts - not well. After the mount locked up as I described earlier on the main load surface RA I had to pound the shaft out with a hammer - . . .
Sorry to hear that. With the cost of a Vixen mount - which is way beyond my means - it's gotta hurt. This underscores the idiocy of manufacturers who skimp a few dollars a few dollars - forcing many north of 40 N users to have to risk the regrease procedure.
Cheers Tongue-in-cheek I hope.
I'm deferring disassembling my mount while I do other astro projects. However, I try to swing by the supplier I mentioned, get some of that low temperature grease and throw it in the freezer. With your experience, I think I really want to make sure that grease says non-solid as advertised.
