There was plenty of grease thrown out of the gear assembly when i pulled the metal cover off and I simply repacked it back in like a wheel bearing. Cleaned everything up real good inside and out and put everything back together and it feels and sounds like new! The cover that proved so hard to remove simply popped back on and feels like it did before...loose but secure on the stops. If it pops off during use I'll just secure it with bolts. Thanks again to all that offered some help.
Like Photomask's experience, this machine is 15 years old and was the very first machine I bought to buff and shine paint. It is still performing flawlessly however will admit to it being relegated to a wax/sealant spreader since my Flex 3401 arrived. I got a Hitachi rotary about 10-12 years ago and that certainly relaxed some of the duty my PC was doing as well so it saw constant service for about 5 of its first years and then refinement duty after the rotary for about another 8-10 years. It's been dropped too many times to remember, run every kind of pad and product you can think of and has never once complained during its service life! Now with its spring cleaning it'll probably go another 15!!!
