Gonna attempt to rip the starter out soon, and just wondered what grease to use? My dads got all sorts, so wanna make sure I use the right stuff...

I would use lithium moly or something similar, to be honnest multi purpous would probably be ok.   I would be happy with M/purpous On the internal plantary gears.
