--- Quote from: drventure on July 19, 2011, 01:14:18 pm ---Also, anyone have any thoughts on how that little half dome bearing that the stick pivots on should be lubed. Mine gets very "sticky" after a while, meaning it binds and the stick won't just pop back to center, you have to force it back, even with the hard springs. I'd heard somewhere that Ultimarc might be changing the default configuration and using a new bushing or something, but I've been unable to find any more info about it. --- End quote --- For a period of time, after we switched to a chrome plated swivel bearing, we stopped using silicone grease on it. This turned out to be a mistake as the stick, although moving very freely when new, became stiff after a time. So we reintroduced the silicone grease. That is the correct material. |

Plumbing aisle at home depot had silicon grease in a little bluish small circular container. |
