I'd use a small dollop of grease out of your grease gun

I never grease a bronze bushng, they're meant to hold oil. Grease is for bearings. Noted

If it didn't work, of course. But since it works fine other than needing lube, I'll simply fix it.

If it didn't work, of course. But since it works fine other than needing lube, I'll simply fix it. I hope it works out for you. It would be nice if a little lube did the trick. If I were dead set on lubing those small bushings, I'd use synthetic disc brake grease. Fill the bushings with grease, put them inside a small assembly of galvanized pipe parts that make up an air tight container and pressurize the galvanized pipe with compressed air to drive the lube into the bronze. I used to pre-oil my pilot bushings by placing the bushing on my palm, filling it up with oil and capping the top with my thumb. I would try to compress the oil by pushing down with my thumb until I saw it weeping through the bushing.

hmm, an oilite bushing needs lube OILite bushing, wonder what lube you should use in an OILlite bushing. Grease? Oh sure that's what belongs in an OILite bush. 30w is typically what is used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilitehttp://www.webcitation.org/5m66FprSI says " Can be re-oiled when dry (submerse in SAE 30 motor oil for 72 hours at room temperature to replenish"
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
