    I stripped everything down to its individual parts and soaked in a container of degreaser, then scrubbed with small brushes and finished off with compressed air. I'm confident all nooks and crannys are free of crud. But I'm wondering if I've removed some of the crud necessary to make it work!

    The only thing I'm not sure about is the amount of lubrication necessary and where it most needs it. Aside from the obvious places of metal on metal, finnicky lubrication might be a potential problematic area.
