You also may need to oil it from inside and then lay the machine on it's face or oil it from the outside and lay it on it's back. Then do other angles. You want that Triflow to do the work for you. I have a couple machines that are very well greased - there must be a whole tube on one of them. I think I will tackle that one soon. It is a 15 clone - I can't seem to keep those in the shop - people must like them or something.
