I’m about to go through the reconditioning process again but I’m wondering if the leftover grease I have has dried out, is that a possibility? It’s been stored in a mostly-airtight ziploc-style bag for a little over a year and starting to look a little like separated yogurt around the edges.
(The wobble has returned on two of four encoders, I think I might not have used enough grease in my first attempt and the problem may have been aggravated by some recent travel, despite my attempts to keep the arc safe.)
From an old email convo I have with @dani_derks it’s TAI / Nye Lubricants Fluorocarbon Gel 868VL and they don’t recommend using anything else. Unfortunately the stuff is $$$ and doesn’t seem available to purchase in small volumes.
