Anti-Seize on Ram screws

[noel]

The instructions say to use anti seize before threading the replacement screws into the brake/clutch reservoir. Is this really necessary? Why?

 

I'm just really curious as to why. Especially since the existing one does not.

Noel, not sure it is absolutely necessary but not a bad idea..

 

Those small screws can gall easily if tightened on dry threads,, a small amount of anti seize can prevent galling of the threads & make future removal much simpler..

 

There is also the corrosion effect of brake fluid (assuming your clutch uses brake fluid rather than clutch oil).. A little anti seize can help prevent brake fluid from quickly rusting up the screw threads..

Thank you for your advise and clarification. Cheers.
