Thanks for finding that website, it was truly appreciated. I will save that incase i have any other problems! that was very detailed and that was not the spot that i was thinking of adding the oil even though i was close! i will have to go out and buy some oil though as they recommended special hook oil and as dont want to damage my machine.. :D
