And you can pick up all kinds of linkage in the PAP's for that magic moment when you destroy yours. I always keep and extra set of balls hanging around. I don't use WD40 for much but I do use it to "degrease" some things before I remove them and regrease them.

As the balls are very easy to snap off , I highly recoment lubing them first , then using the wide flat blade screwdriver to gently work them off for periodic cleaning of the accumulated old rock hard grease , dust and road munge....
If the rod resists popping off the ball , lightly pry the rod away from the ball whilst slolwly working the throttle , as the pivot moves , the rod will pop off and not break nor damage the ball .
