Attach the shaft part of the PhreakMods EX-Groove Link quick release shaft to the pivot JLF-P-4.
Spray grease on the moving parts at this time if necessary.

Recommended grease is Shin-Etsu Chemical G501, because it is used in Seimitsu Kogyo's joysticks and for plastic lubrication.
Mitsuwa Denshi's grease is Shin-Etsu Chemical G-40M, this is for high temperature lubrication and general use. It will be suitable for lubrication of sealed bearings, please choose according to your preference.

Some people often use Tamiya's grease for mini 4WD and RC cars, but we do not recommend it because of its different application and viscosity.

At this time, the dust washer should be in one piece. If this is a Sanwa Denshi JLF-TP-8YT series or HORI HAYABUSA joystick, two basic dust washers are used.
Since the main shaft of the PhreakMods EX-Groove Link quick release shaft is removable, two washers can get caught in the main shaft and cause it to come off or malfunction, so please be sure to use only one dust washer.
