Lubrication

To keep the wrenches in good working condition, lubricate the drive components periodically between service intervals.

Disassembly before lubrication:

  1. Remove the sideplate screws and sideplate.

  2. Remove the drive assembly.

Do the following actions during lubrication maintenance:

  1. Examine the drive pin and springs for signs of wear or damage. Replace the drive pin and springs if necessary.

  2. Examine the edges of ratchet teeth for signs of damage. Replace the ratchet if necessary.

  3. Check the Drive Pawl springs function correctly and fully engage the Ratchet/Drive Pawl teeth. Replace springs if necessary.

  4. Lubricate the shaded areas, both sideplates and both faces of the drive plate with Molykote 1000.

The procedure for assembly is the same as for disassembly but backwards. Refer Assembling the Slim Link for screw tightening torque values.
