I have had a hell of a job removing the large plastic backnut from a Whale Flipper galley pump. This is a very large plastic nut working on a plastic bodied pump. It had probably been overtightened when it was originally installed. Access is difficult as it is underneath the worktopand the situation is not helped by it needing a very large spanner. To avoid difficulty in future I thought I would grease the threads [and be careful not to overtighten it], but specialist plastic grease is very expensive, especially as I only need a tiny amount.
Anyone know of an alternative lubricant that might be found in the average domestic garage or kitchen [or bedside table /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif!]?
