At my church, one of the HVAC air flow dampers
siezed up. The berrings dried up, and the actuator
couldn't do its thing. Our resident HVAC guy (not
me, the other guy) freed it up with Channel Locks.
Gave me permission to lube the damper berrings.

Where the shaft goes through the bushing is
generally accessable. What's a good lube, that
will attract minimum of dust, provide lubrication,
and stay there for a while?

I'm thinking that WD-40 and three in one oil aren't
going to do the job. At the moment, I'm thinking that
zoom spout turbine oil might. Silicone spray might.
LPS #2, dries and leaves a dry lube might work. Or,
two cycle gas mix oil.

At present, silicone tops my list. What else might
work?

Stormin,
I've become addicted to using Anti Seize on many things. If you
can pull the shaft, clean off the gunk, coat shaft and bearing
with anti seize I would bet you'll never do it again under your
watch.

The stuff has great water resistance, sticks well, lubes well. No
affiliations, just well satisfied. The one I use now is:

but Graingers carries a wide assortment, even spray formulae:

Now, go in the back room and scrub out the muffler berring
in that vat of red lantern oil.

Antisieze is excellent idea. Sadly, I don't have the ability
to get the bushing apart. The "whatever" needs to be dripped
or sprayed from the end of the berring. If I could get the
bushing / berring apart, then anti sieze would be the way to
go. Lubricates, and long lasting.

At the moment, I'm going back and forth between LPS #2, and
Gunk chain lube.
