Received TS-70 moly paste today in advance of tire change. Is 5 grams really enough for the splines? That's what is in the manual. The white plastic lid the paste is in weighed 3 grams.

5g is exactly what the manual calls for to be applied to the joint surface of the splines in the final gear case and on the driven flange - ie the female and male parts respectively.
Is that what 5g looks like ? It looks to be a lot.
What is that in term of a standard fingerfull ?

That is plenty. All that is needed is enough to make sure that all of the metallic surfaces are fully coated.
Anything beyond that is not providing any additional protection.

A little perspective for you John.
5 grams is about 3 drams or so. Have a good look when you are having a wee dram tonight and you'll have a better idea.

Then it's moly.
Yes that is 5g weighed. I guess it depends on the finger lol.

I'm sure some Australian will try it on toast. They eat Vegemite after all....Not going to try...
Vegemite is just moly paste with some added salt, no??
I think you're right...
Can't have salt.......bad heart, Do they have Kosher moly
You have more than just the splines to cover.
Check/inspect under the spline plate, and replace both of the o-rings as well.

I thought the moly paste was specifically for the splines. Is that not the case?
