Is molybdenum disulfide a brass eater? I just removed my new front trunnions
and cleaned out the EP90, with unknown components and pumped them full of a
lithium grease with moly. As I was coating the bolts with a synthetic brake
grease I used in the bushings, I noticed molybdenum disulfide was a component.
That sounds like sulpher and I was just informed sulpher is the brass eating
component we are to avoid in our Spitfires.
