Maybe the answer to this is obvious but I'll ask anyhow. How does one keep the cork grease seals from drying out and breaking apart? I see there are replacement neoprene ones out there but would like to try to keep them as original if possible. Obviously, keeping them from drying out is the trick. Are there any tricks out there that have proven to work?
