Agree. Johnnie 7 snake oil is excellent.

[Johnnie7]

this may help
a customer sent me details of how he done the oil change




Johnnie supplied me with a few vials of booster oil.
the oil can be applied in situ. but to totally remove and replace the old fluid and therefore reap the ultimate benefit - the bearing must be removed.
here is how to do a full clean and change:

[Johnnie7]

remove the centre screws and lift the pcb. the bearing will now lift out. there is a circlip at the base of the bearing - remove. clean off all original oil with supplied cloths and buds.

apply the new oil. re-fit, re-connect and enjoy
imo, the main bearing didn't seem a great design so the slippery oil can only help

OK John Thanks

For now I have just run a small quantity from the top down into the bearing

May be upgrading to a Mike New bearing ;)
