I have ordered a tube of white lithium grease ( it's not always easy getting 
"specialist" hardware etc in the boondocks), and when it arrives I will very 
cautiously open the area and see what there is. I do have a set of fine 
needle files made by Spear and Jackson. Had them for years and they are a 
prized possession..
Many thanks for your guidance.

I have downloaded the exploded diagrams etc.
