Thanks Richard,

Not sure where to apply the lighter fluid. The arm appears to be connected to the deck beneath a long metal tube about 2 inches long perpendicular to the arm. It looks like the arm should rotate on a shaft coming out from the deck in the middle of this tube. However, if this is the case, then the arm is stuck to the shaft because when I force arm movement they both moeve. Is the arm suppose to slide off a shaft? If so, its stuck real good and I don't think any fluid would seep in between to dissolve old grease. Its hard to explain so I hope that you can see what I am trying to explain.

Also, How come no alcohol on the heads? That is what I always used as a kid. Used 99% though because the medical grade contained 10% water. Anyway, I hope that it will survive one application.

Thanks again.

Mike
