Post by: tvman44 on June 17, 2013, 10:57:01 am: To be perfectly honest, I forgot about it. So I just walked out to the workshop and looked. The one I use is by Permatex "White Lithium Grease #WL-9" It is a 1.5 oz tube and that should last me the rest of my life. I got it at the local auto parts store.

HTH.

Sorry about forgetting.

ok.

thanks.

I also talk to ray.
and he told me where it should be place at. place a small amount direcly under the lever (push up on the lifting part to have space to push a small amount of the grease under it.
