"The pulleys look like a two part unit where the inner bushing separates from the plastic pulley wheel" They should not, these inner bushings should be pressed into the pulley, if they are net they are worn out. "Is your can of Blaster silicone "lubricant" actually a grease or is it an oil?" Blaster silicone is an oil, you are correct, and pulley bushings/bearings should always be a light oil lubricant as grease can cause too much drag and allow cables to slack or jump the pulley. "I don't think an oil is thick enough to stick and adhere for long to such a pulley system. I'm thinking a more semi-solid silicone grease like automotive (ball joint) grease would have the required thickness." Again, a semi solid grease is too thick for this type of application it will drag and over time cause wore undue wear on the cables. - Kevin

@@ProsourceFitnessEquipment - YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF, Kevin. I had just taken a quick look at the pulley and saw that the bearing extends out on both sides of the pulley. For some reason, I thought the bearing and pulley were two separate units. They're not. The bearing is locked into the pulley wheel. It does look as though on one side of the pulley wheel that there is a thin cover over the bearing. I gently probed with a knife blade but couldn't get under it to lift it off and I didn't want to gouge up my new toy. I would have liked to have seen what kind of bearing was under there and maybe be able to clean it out and lubricate it better. But, the bearing revolves like new with no wobble or catches so I will take your advice and just use that Blaster oil to help clean out the bearing and lubricate it for my use. Thanks you so much for your quick replay and wealth of knowledge. EDIT - I just looked up about Blaster and noticed it was a petroleum based lubricant. Isn't that bad for around plastic pulley wheels and the plastic coating on the cables? Should the Blaster Silicone lubricant be used instead? TriFlow is also a petroleum based lubricant.

I literally just got that , will that be ok to use ? It specifically say silicone. It’s for my vertical leg press machine

That music gave me a headache.

Ok, Now that's a dam GOOD question here!

WD-40 is a lubricant. The myth that it isn't a lubricant got started somewhere and just won't die. I've been using it for decades on my bicycle chains and it performs very well. My current bike chain is 4 years old and has at least 5,000 miles on it and is still performing well. And it has never seen any lubricant except WD-40. Here is a direct quote from WD-40's website: "While the 'W-D' in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product's formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal." Whether or not it's appropriate for use on gym equipment, I couldn't say. But it definitely IS a lubricant.

I spoke with someone at WD40 and even their Silicone spray is Petroleum based and NOT 100 % Silicone and NOT good for Treadmill belts.

@@douglass.humphries6438 cool good to know

Hi Roslin , I recommend never taking apart the bearings as they are sealed bearing design that is pre-lubricated. Spraying any type of lubricant in them will shorten their life. And please never spray WD-40 as a lubricant it is actually a water displacement cleaner and will destroy the bearings very quickly.

Accent Corporate Media Thank you

@@accentcorporatemedia9682 Hello, in that case, what product should I use for my fitness Equipment? Thank you

You are spot on! When lubricating a bolt or bushing you should use the marine grease as it will stay in place and help keep dirt and moisture from entering the pivot joint.

Prosource Fitness Equipment thanks for the info!
