I saw the article about lubing up the drive and was in a tinkering mood so I thought I'd give it a try. It does help the squeeking. I used some Gunslick which is a graphite lubricant. ( K-MART ~ .75$ in the sports section ) However, I had just finished the drive and my wife was helping clean up when she said " Oh, here you missed a part. " After I scooped my face off the floor I realized I hadn't even seen the part come off. So my question is, could someone verify/correct me on the order of assembly? Here is the way I reassembled it. C <------------- clip ring ___ <------------- flat metal washer --------------------- <------ thin metal peice ~ <------------- spring steel washer ===================== <------- cast metal piece ___ <------------- flat metal washer ___ <------------- flat metal washer \ / <------------- small spring /_\ ___ <------------- flat metal washer === <------------- flat fiber washer ___________ |_________| <--------- nylon collar ___ \ / / <------------- fat spring /_\ _______________ \_____________/ <-------- nylon hub _ | | | | <------------- stud _|_|_ The main piece in question is the spring steel washer. It is one of those curved things they use for tension. The drive still works fine, but if someone finds significant errors or discrepencies in the assembly please mail me the correction.
