Lubricant for Installing 0.040 Sleeves

I am getting ready to install new 0.040 sleeves in my 8N. A mandrel is just about machined up to push the sleeve in per the I&T Ford Manual.
The sleeves I purchased say to use the lubricant recommended by the tractor manufacturer. I cannot find a recommendation in either the Ford or I&T manual. I am going to try and push them at room temperature since I will be using a mandrel.
What if any lubricant should I use ?
Thank You for any help.
 
When I worked in an automotive machine shop, we used a product called Sunnen Press Lube. Came in an aerosol can. It was made for pressing of of sleeves, pin bushings and such. We always had very good results with this product.
Ask your local machine shop or on the internet under Sunnen products.

You won't need any but a little light oil wont' hurt.

Dang! I've done a couple hundred over the years and never used any lubricant! Should I go back and do all of them over??????

Thank you for the help.
Zane you have always been so helpful and knowledgeble, I would never ask you to go back on my account!
Many Thanks !
 
If you like to live dangerously like riding a Harley etc, you could always use my idea for shrinking the new sleeves to make them just fall in the bore by using liquid propane to freeze them before installation. Best idea I've ever had to install new sleeves.
You can buy a fitting off Ebay that is used to fill small propane cylinder from a 30# cylinder to do it with. That's what I use.
