[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 128433, member: 82"] well, that is a good question..... Greased will make it slide easier, is that a good or bad thing? you want it to hold in detent position, it will reduce wear of metal on metal, BUT if dirt gets in, it mixes with the grease and turns into lapping paste, and causes wear..... So what is the right way? The caps i have removed has grease, or was it just dirty oil that had leaked from the spool, mixed with dirt and became a greasy like substance? i can't tell you the correct answer i'm afraid. I don't remember if there was anything in the manual detailing what to do, but this cap is mostly sealed, hard to get dirt in there, so it may be a good idea to put a little bearing grease in there, but again, i can't tell you for sure if that is the right way or not.
