It should be stated that WD-40 is !!!!!!N O T!!!!!!!! what is meant here. WD-40 is neither a cleaner nor a lube, it is a water deterrent (W D) which has secondary uses as a penetrating oil, not a mechanical lube. #10 or lighter machine oil is needed, or get a spray can of silicone oil. -- -- NOT sent from an iphone,blackberry,Nokia, or any handheld. -- I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc) AND I RUN LINUX!!!
