A1 problems (Topless bunny)

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (Patrick Bureau)]

dio like I did... take it all apart and dip it in the chem-dip barell for 45
mins.... never seen one move so nicely since...lol almost like new, and
permits to change that dried up gasket between the metal and plastic
parts... pretty easy to take the 5 main components aparts and you wont need
to remove the pin out of the assembly (pivot pin can be a bitch to comes
out)
