Kurt, Thought I'd let you know how I've got on with my Vixen GP-DX regrease efforts - not well. After the mount locked up as I described earlier on the main load surface RA I had to pound the shaft out with a hammer - a big one, with a lump of wood between it and the shaft. It was a bit surreal wacking it after babying it for years. Anyway, I have a badly damaged bushing as the shaft seems to have scoured in three places. I'm presently looking at getting a new one made up, its aluminium, the shaft is steel which fortunately survived the abuse. Cheers David
