What is better than WD40?

[Kevin Cabral]

I've been cleaning the worm screw and worm screw bearings with WD40 for 2 years now... No issues. Recently I've been cleaning under the rubber boot with WD40 and greasing it with triflow synthetic grease. I heard today WD40 is not good for bearings. What else can I use to clean the worm screw and bearings? Someone suggested PB Blaster. Here is the product: https://m.canadiantire.ca/products/productDetail/0381510P/false/false/false?selectedSku=0381510

What do you all think?

Does this clean the worm screw and bearings as well? I use tri flow synthetic grease for lubrication. Works fine. Hasn't eaten the rubber or plastic. Been using it for 2 years now. Just found out WD40 is just not good to clean the lead screw and bearings :S. Not sure why DJI recommends using it in their manual.

What about this WD40 product? It looks promising. It's silicone base. WD-40 Specialist

Kevin, you're basically asking exactly the same question (again) as you asked in this thread that you started not long ago
