[QUOTE="superswede66, post: 459761, member: 273473"] Thanks very much for all your help. :) For the moment I think I will do the easy option and lubricate it with some WD40 or oil as the dish still moves pretty well. This should see it through the winter without any problems and when the weather is a bit more conducive to taking things apart (i.e. next year), I will do just that and give it as much of a clean as possible before using silicone grease. Is there anything I should be aware of or watch out for when dismantling and cleaning? I presume it is possible to remove the motor/gear assembly and give that a clean separately. Not having done anything like that to a motorised system, do I need to do anything in particular so that everything goes back as it should and the dish is still aligned properly? I've got no problem taking things apart, but it's nice to have as much info as possible in advance. SuperSwede [/QUOTE]
