Using a grease gun, pump lithium
based grease (about 10 grams
[1/3 oz.]) into the grease fitting
(B) on the gearcase until you see
old grease being purged from the

visible in the outer tube cavity.
4. Clean up excess grease, then
reassemble the gearcase onto the
outer tube. Make sure the index
bolt fits into the hole on the outer
tube. Securely tighten both bolts.
