[QUOTE="Crankshaft, post: 81580, member: 941"] Job completed. The tray rails were very sticky. Cleaned off old grease with iso-alcohol, and relubed with some silicone grease. I left the gear unlubed. Works smooth and quiet. I could see where the grease had absorbed into the previous gear - the plastic crumbled under my finger tips when pressed. The last time I replaced the gear, I had used Slick PTFE grease - it is obviously oil-based, so beware. [/QUOTE]
