I used white lithium grease. The instructions from Bally do actually say the rollers are supposed to be greased, but I believe it says to use teflon grease. IMO, any place you have metal to metal contact like that should be greased. Some people will probably argue that in HUO setting it's not needed, but I'd rather clean up some gunk later on, than cleaning up metal shavings out of the cabinet or trying to source a replacement bracket.
Quoted from pinball_faz:Lithium grease is very gummy. It will attract every bit of dirt and dust...then turn into a crusty blob.
Clean all that crap'e off and use a simple coat of silicone spray. Spray on, wipe excess off.
You only need this for metal-on-metal parts.

Well, I won't have to worry about it, but I might give the new owners a heads up. It's new enough that it won't be gummy and hard as f----- to clean, unlike the crud I removed.
