Dear all, I didn't find the topic anywhere, even here - do I need to lubricate seemingly obvious places - Lx's swinging arm shafts (pictured with yellow arrow)? No bearings, just the thick and dry zincked bolts I found when disassembled. Surprisingly, no rust inside, just a few rubbing spots. Lub wouldn't make any bad, no? Although the link doesn't move much, it still flexes constantly.

a little schmear of grease on the bolts there never hurts. I always do when reinstalling motors.

Fantastic, thank you. I'll put blue bearing grease in them.
