Talking fitting rearset...a little help required please


So as the title suggests im fitting my GBmoto rearset and would like to know if i should have any grease or lube or what ever it is you real bikers use.
Second thing, is there an order in which to do this job, like undo this before you do this and so on..

All help welcome

Cheers

It's pretty much a case of unbolting old and fitting new ones.

Crack the bolts free on the master cylinder before removing the old rearset.

Shouldn't need to grease anything if the levers run on roller bearings (instead of plain bearings). Might want to use a bit of medium loctite on all the fasteners though.
