Anti-freeze is best. Any scuba divers out there? Recall what you usually do to
your mask before a dive? Works good on radiator hoses too.

Girling Grease is available, but probably a bit expensive for this use.
I found some at a local speed shop that sells Girling master and slave
cylinders. A very small tube of the stuff cost $11. Guess that's why
the tubes in the rebuild kits are so dinky.
I supposed for the small amounts involved it doesn't matter, but isn't
petroleum jelly unfriendly to rubber? I usually use soap or a bit of
antifreeze to lubricate water hoses during installation.
