Move yoke to get at all parts of the tube. Then get a can of PTFE DRY SPRAY and spray this on and around the metal tube and nylon bearings. Slide and rotate the yoke while spraying. The PTFE spray lubricates without leaving any sticky residue to attract dust. John B

Little bit help, but its still sticky when pulling. Pushing works fine. So its very interesting now what the problem is.. any ideas :D
August 29, 20251 yr You must remove all traces of vaseline and anything else on there. Anything greasy like that and you're doomd to failure. Get it clean and dry then use the PTFE, or perhaps a silicone spray. Rob Jones.
