It Works
Hello,
PainTrain reporting in on the Nyogel 767A regreasing of the Warthog. It really works, I had a major sticktion problem where all fine movements were done with jerking motions before. After carefully disassembly and cleaning my 2nd hand warthog is better than new. Several notes for those attempting this.
1. When you get down to the ball joint: Push the ribbon cable and black ground wire up through the bottom of the base to give yourself enough slack to remove the connector cup.
2. It really does take a concerning amount of force to remove the pins the roll axis is on, just be careful of the wires and push that sucker out.
3. sand down any flash from the molding process. I sanded the plastic pins for the roll axis and the ball part of the joint with a squadron tri-grit sanding stick from amazon

I used all 3 grits to make sure of a smooth finish.
4. make note of the orientation of the inner half ball for the roll axis. There is a cutout for the wires to pass through, do not twist them up.
That's it just clean it well and lube it up and you will be rewarded with a silky smooth flight stick.
