I need to get my stick waxed.

fluid

Silicon spray is good. Could try to just goo-gone it first and see if that takes care of it without additional lubricants (that could theoretically damage another component, speaking without doing any research on the internals of the X45 whatsoever)

Goldstrike

Stupid allen screws.

I'm going to need to buy 2 new tool sets just to crack this thing. Wonder how much begging that's going to take.

Candle wax is what I used to use, however, if you feel like doing a little bit of fiddling.....I took the bottom of an aluminium can(Budwieser 16oz I believe) cut a hole dead center(9/16") and a slot leading to the hole in the center.

Beat it to fit...paint it to match.

I've never had to lube it since.

Neither does he, but it sure sounded cool. We'll have to start calling him Mcgyver.
