MitchTvd Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I was just looking through my bin of hundreds of bionicle pieces, and found some incomplete sets. When i pulled out nokama metru, I noticed the left knee and ankle were pretty stiff. So I took some white lithium grease and applied a small amount to the ball part of the joint. Now it's less stiff, but vibrates when I bend it. Was this a bad Idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise trying to remove the grease, but don't use anything except water, to avoid damaging the piece.

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 water is the safest way to get go when lubricating dusty sets, also moving the joints while submerged in water also works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
