i've done it again....i pushed my little Fez too hard through some thick mud and deep water.
now it's developed a squeaky clutch (as well as squeaky other places). Can anyone tell me the best way to grease up a Fez after it's been through some (alot) water????

Have you had the brake pads checked lately? A lot of them have a metal tang built in that scrapes on the disc to indicate the pad needs replacing- makes a noise similar to what you just described.

Hey Kell,
you may need to check your wheel bearings too if things are squeeking

My bed swueaks...and the neighbours keep complain'
Anyway.....disconnnect the end of the clutch cable at the gearbox end, and squirt as much wd40 or even sewing machine oil down it as ya can manage....try to keep it inverted for a coupla hours to let it run down the cable....
You can grease up all the NIPPLES on the front end....just get yaself a cheapy grease gun from ya local auto store, and grease away at them thar nipples.
