hi i am wondering what else i can use as thin lube
thx for ur help! :smiley:

2

could i use wd-40 or sewing machine oil ???

3

Not WD-40, it will rust your bearing.

I use sewing machine oil.

4

WD-40 does the opposite but it makes the bearing responsive.

5

ok that is whst i thought where do u get sewing machine oil?

6

I got mine at Hobby Lobby but I guess you could get it from WalMart or Michaels or something…

7

i used 3 in 1 oil and now it is really responsive :-[ what can i use to make it go away do i have to use yyj thin lube or can i use something else and if i have to buy thin lube should i get synergy caps for the LEGACY would it be worth it
thx for ur help! ;D

  1. Break it in.

  2. Clean it and relube it.

  3. Don’t apply so much lube next time.

  3. 1 drop for all, REMOVE SHIELDS WITH PIN
  4. Don’t play for 15min. min. (best to do at night)

Read the pages I linked you to. We don’t need to spoon feed every bit of information.

You can use paint thinner or Lighter Fluid

(Safety precautions

* Protective glasses should be worn.
* Almost all the solvents listed here are highly flammable so keep the solvents away from sparks, naked flames, etc.
* As many of the solvents give off unpleasant fumes, the bearing cleaning should be carried out in a well ventilated room with care taken not to inhale the fumes)
