As for grease, yes it's a good way of getting grit to stick to places where you really don't want it. A good tip I read about lubricating things like this (it was for U/C bearings but is similar) is to take a pencil, keep rubbing it in on a piece of paper for a while, et voila! You have a pile of graffite filings that make a very good, dry lubricant. Apply whereever you require it. ;D |

You can also buy a tube of graphite lube at most auto parts stores.
