We have those in the rack with a TC08, and we recently rebuilt them.
Wailing solved! :-) Yes, avoid using WD40 as anything but a cleaning
agent - make sure to use a medium-viscosity lubricant when you put them
back together. It looks to me that as long as these are maintained
reasonably they should last for a long time, unlike the sealed
"lifetime-lubricated" units we buy today. ("Lifetime-lubricated"
means
that when it dies, that's its lifetime, no appeal.) -- Ian
