I would be a good idea to disassemble the box and clean it thoroughly and repack with fresh new lube. This way, you wouldn't have to worry about it for years, plus it'll work real nice and smothe too.:cool:

Do you grease it up on the pivot points? I did pull it apart and It was bone dry and clean in there, like it had never had grease in it.
