If proper maintenace is to be observed then one needs a site that will explain how to remove the shell, look for bearings and drives, what to lube and what to grease, not just remove the dirt and old grease. Sorry but on a scale of one to five, with one being the lowest, about a one. Very generic and not much help. If proper maintenace is to be observed then one needs

I think they need some lubricant and am wondering if I can use WD40, 3in 1 oil, vaseline to loosen everything out. Should I use a grease or oil.
