Got my slave back from Yoyodyne for free.  ;D Installing. Bled. Ready to ride more or less. Could probably use a little bit more bleeding but it's working well enough right now. When I do this at home, my dad always insists on lubing the end of the push rod as well as the O-ring that keeps dirt out between the slave and the engine case. Theoretically the push rod is not spinning and only goes in and out, so the lube isn't really doing anything, right? Well, on the O-ring one I guess it does a bit but not on the end of the push rod, right?

Do you guys lube anything when you put a slave on? If so, what do you use?

The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!
