Sticky ballcups - excuse the innuendo

[martgifford]

Hi

B5M ball caps are sticky when on the ball cups -

Best method to free them up but to keep them robust
Black grease
Silicon grease
WD40
Bearing oil

Whats the best option or any tips and tricks

|Thanks

I'm aware that some kits have suffered from tighter ball cups but I was under the impression that the ballcups on the lite were updated?

When I built my kit my ballcups were a little tight but freed up themselves after a lipo. I'd suggest giving the car a few packs before you start trying anything more drastic.

Graphite, either dry powder or lock spray stuff.

i found the ballcups on my B5 quite stiff until I gave the ball studs a polish with some brasso.

A few have put the cups on the studs up and down to give them a little treach then placed on the right way.
You could always give the cup a good squeeze with wide pliers while they are on the studs that helps a little but can leave ugly marks.

On my lite they were horrible
