I watched Vic Syracuse?s excellent webinar on RV maintenance this evening and learned a lot! Thanks, Vic!
I would like to see what others think about Belleville washer installation. On page 40A-07 the note on Step 2 says:
?NOTE: Belleville washers are slightly cupped and in order to function properly the outside perimeter of both washers must be in contact with each other when installed. See Figure 2. Install the washers dry.?
In his presentation, Vic recommends greasing the washers to prevent corrosion and other threads in this forum favor grease as well. I have tremendous respect for Van?s and Vic and, as a first time builder, would normally not question advice from either but it seems as though they can?t both be right.
So here?s the question to my fellow builders... Which is correct in this case, and why?
