I will likely lube the gears with lithium grease, and was going to use synthetic axle grease on the bearings, but perhaps somebody has a more appropriate suggestion?

I e-mailed you more details privately, Roy, but for the benefit of others, I was advised to use marine grease... found some at Walmart that worked for ~$5. Also, get some wooden tongue depressors to spread the grease on... that made things a whole lot easier!!

p.s. I have a complete set of 5400B/5600B style rotors here I would like to find a home for... just no way to ship them. Some of the bolts and mounting hardware need a little cleaning up (surface rust), but the rotors themselves and the controller are fine and working when removed from service last summer. If anyone thinks they might like to come get them, I have a reasonable price in mind... e-mail me off list.
