Any help is greatly appreciated.   Sean Clawson (Jacintyre) New Member Username: Jacintyre Post Number: 12 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 09:11 am:    There is a great write up here: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/cdl/ After you get done take a minute to check out all the quality items on the site. Good stuff!   john east (Jeast) New Member Username: Jeast Post Number: 2 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 09:17 am:    I found that and it is very helpful, thank you. It doesn't tell me what kind of lubricant to use in the linkage. It's from an old D1 so I want to clean it and lube it so it doesnt stick. I've used simple green to clean it but I need to lube it-any suggestions?   john east (Jeast) New Member Username: Jeast Post Number: 4 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2003 - 08:01 am:    Has anyone else found the need to spruce up the old linkage?   john east (Jeast) New Member Username: Jeast Post Number: 5 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2003 - 11:47 pm:    no help?   Andrew Lenz (Alenz) New Member Username: Alenz Post Number: 12 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 12:29 am:    Tri Flow works GREAT for stuff like this. cable lub, gun lub, chain lub... Hardware store or gun store may have it.   michael burt (Mikeyb) Senior Member Username: Mikeyb Post Number: 585 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 01:07 am:    i would use a "dry lube" so it does not attract dust and such. you might try a good bicycle shop as well. mike
