x52 potentiometer cleaning, quick help required !

[Jizzo]

Hey gentlemen, my x52 rudder twist was acting up so i decided to clean it and took apart the stick.

 

Now my stick is working like it should again, but its really crazy squeeking when i use the yaw twist.

 

So my question is, where must i apply the lubricant for the yaw axis stuff?

 

Fast help would be really great, because i want to put it together again.

 

I attached a picture of the opened up stick.

I'm not familiar with the x52. If you google "lubricating x52" a ton of info pops-up.

This "squeaking" sound difficult is caused by potentiometer (as title suggest), most probable by twist spring and/or plastic bushes of mechanism.

 

Disassemble and grease (NON petrol based grease) the parts.

 

See in this video how disassemble this part:

 

 

And since you are with the thing open, open the pot' case and clean resistive trails with isopropyl alcohol. See how open G-25 pot' case, the Saitek is similar.
