Ok i,ll try to find it thanks.
I do remember reading somewhere that to change the lubricant is a very
expensive affair but cant find where.
But if i understand correctly ,
you recommend to put a drop on the spindle from the outside and let itself

Those guys have no licenses for my usual bird.
But i had the pleasure to see them at work in Atlanta and Seattle .
