Quoted from robbiedoo:

This task was fairly easy to do and made such an improvement in the way my ToM's trunk works, smoother, quieter and my issue was fixed.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to cal50 for suggesting this, and throw my recommendation behind doing this to any ToM that hasn't had it done yet.

Did you need to add grease to the gears when you were done or did you just clean and reassemble? I am having the same problem with mine.

If you used grease, what kind?
