It was posted on the Ritter/Easley site (before Ritter hijacked it) but we found out later that other years and models were much more difficult to disassemble. Leave it to the Germans. When you look at the slides (if you ever get the cover off) you will probably come to the conclusion as I did that any watery lube is going to have short life because of the rod length. I've had a tube of Sil-Glyde around for decades and used that. It's quite viscous and will never run off. It fixed the problem for the remaining time I owned that car.
