CSL elite gas pedal squeaking.

[OGsoda]

Hey. After a couple of months my gas pedal is starting to squeak. Where exactly do I apply lubricant without detaching the pedals from my stand?

Thanks!

Try spraying with a lubricant where the pedal arm connects to the round bar. Perhaps WD-40 or better yet a lithium grease spray

Thanks for the fast reply! I actually bought the lithium grease! Still not 100% sure where I should apply it (English is not my native language).

Do you mean the metallic part at the bottom of the arm? It looks like a spring actually.

Just swing down to a local auto parts store and buy some lithium grease. I had some sqeaking with my V3 pedals and it fixed everything. All I had on me was some hi-temp lithium grease that I use for an AK that originally cost me 5 bucks for a tub that will last for centuries. (you also need to put enough so that you can't see it, as in a very very small amount on a cotton swab)

Lithium grease, ftw like mentioned earlier. I have a huge tube that I'll never use all of in my lifetime

Cant find a definitve answer so will ask here. Where I am from Ball bearing grease is more widely available. Is there any major difference with Lithium Grease?

Ball bearing grease can be a lithium grease. The wheel bearing grease usually just means it can withstand high temperature vs a type of grease you would use for control arms or ball joints.

For what you plan on using it for it doesn't really matter.

This should give you an idea. Anywhere you have metal on metal contact and movement, apply a small amount of grease and you'll be fine.
