How the heck do you lube the bronze bearing on the tailwheel fork short of taking the giant nut off. I lubed it up good during initial assembly, then at about 40 hours, it started to kind of stick, so I dissembled and lubed it again. Now at 70 its doing it again. I foolishly put a Zerk fitting in the body of the thing, thinking that next time I could just shoot some lube in there. Great idea except that it doesn't work for such a tight fit.

Is there some "super lube" you can get that will last forever? I've used both graphite wheel bearing grease and Aeroshell #6 grease.

Thanks!
