Noway! It's a bad idea and isn't necessary. It is okay to put it on the distributor cap button though.
nope grease cap is not threaded, can usually remove it with a big set of channel locks
Yes, you can apply dielectric grease to the cap and rotor contacts to help prevent corrosion and ensure a good electrical connection. However, it's important to use it sparingly to avoid interfering with the electrical flow. Additionally, avoid applying grease directly to the spark plug terminals or ignition coil contacts, as this can hinder performance. Always check your vehicle's specifications for any specific recommendations.
you'll need to pop off the grease cap then remove the snap ring to get the hub off to get the rotor off.
you could have a cracked distributor cap Check condition of ignition system including distributor cap, rotor and ignition cables. (You didn’t mention engine size because Colt did have a 1.6L “distributorless” engine….it had an ignition block which could crack causing voltage leakage, especially when moisture is about. It is a block where all the ignition cables meet.) If cap, rotor or cables look suspect, change them. With the cables, buy a tube of dielectric grease and use at both ends of the cables to connect to the cap and the spark plugs. Even if the cables look relatively new and you are reluctant to change them, minimally, buy the grease and grease the ends. It helps keep the moisture out and the voltage “in”.
Remove the grease cap in the wheel center. Then remove the cotter pin, and finally the nut. The brake drum should slide off. Remove the grease cap in the wheel center. Then remove the cotter pin, and finally the nut. The brake drum should slide off.
On hub dust cap there is a rubber gramet and behind gramet is a zirc fitting for grease gun.
There is a tool with unit that matches two of four holes in grease cap.
On a light trailer or small boat trailer you remove the bearing cap, pack it with grease and re-fit it.
Always check lenght! top three have the longest cords, bottom three go long medium small to reach the Cap at the end. The top three are 1,3,5 and the bottom are 246. When putting the wires in, be sure to use Dielectric Grease! the side of the cap says the firing order when you put the wires in. Hope this helps!
Sure sounds like ignition to me, Particularily cap,rotor and wires. If replaced were they autozone junk or quality ones? Did you use dielectric grease on them? check underneth hood at dark and watch 4 fire or sparks b careful watch where you place your hands
