Lubrication
  • Remove the plungers by pressing on the sides of them with something like a small screwdriver. This squeezes them together enough for the bump on the side to fit up out through the hole the plunger is in.

  • The metal pins will then come out. Be careful not to lose the springs behind those pins.

  • Now you get to lubricate the metal pins. Mine were originally covered with a dry lubricant. I can tell by how black my hands were afterwards. Oh, did I forget to tell you to wear rubber gloves?

  • Since I had no dry lubricant on hand, I just applied some grease to the angled flats, and the bottoms of the pins.
