Anyway- I put in a rather large parts order and as I wait for it to arrive I removed the bench seat to be cleaned up and re-installed- I soaked the tracks in evap-o-rust to get rid of the surface rust- and now they are back together, looking good, and ready to be painted. Before I re-install I was going to hit the bearings and wheel/ tracks with some lube. Then I thought about all the crumbs/ crud/ and seat fiber dust that was under that seat-( clean for now ) if I hit the tracks with lube do I run the risk of future crud sticking to the grease and gritting up with works? I didn't notice any factory residue in the tracks- so I'm unsure if these ever were meant to be lubed or not- any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! It's good to be back into the thick of things again.

balls with a chassis grease. Some use Lubriplate but I've found
that it dries out over a relatively short time and that grease
last longer.

"to lube" it is! Thanks guys- looking forward to getting my hands dirty again- anybody use superlube? I was considering that- I use it for metal on metal parts in the pinball machines I work on- doesn't dry out ( as far as I have seen) and stays where you put it- | | |
