Thanks so much for the replies!
Phil, first place I looked was my assembly manual but it only diagrams the cancel cam for a RHD model
, and no lubricant listed. Never thought of looking in the front section of the manual, but after your suggestion I did so and in addition to the part number (which is probably long since obsolete), it says "Teflon Grease". Internet search finds Teflon Grease mostly listed for bicycle bearing and chain applications. There are some white lithium greases with Teflon shown in spray cans, so I went out and looked at the can I have in the garage and lo and behold it says it is white lithium with Teflon. So, that's what I'm going with.
Lynn, your 15 yr track record is probably more than sufficient! But since I don't have any synthetic high temp wheel bearing grease on hand, I'm gonna try my lithium with Teflon stuff. Will report back here as to whether or not this works.
Again, many thanks guys
