Action friction reduction question

[Tony Caught]

Hi Kristinn

have had some success with dry-cleaning fluid poured liberally over the
centres then left out side in the sun to dry.  Has worked several times for
me. I do it only when I think the action has had too much "lubricant" RP7
WD40 etc. to wash all the oil out.
