I really just grease up the seat tracks (both on the seat and on the base), i disassemble the swivel base, grease accordingly, and keep going. Just smear some grease on stuff. What kind? Grease. I believe it's synthetic Moly that I use, but it's what i use for just about everything (shift bushings, rust prevention, etc). (NOT CV GREASE! THAT STUFF IS A MESS WAITING TO HAPPEN!). Just apply some lube. -craig
