Rebuilding my squeezer - what needs grease?

Hi,

I'm rebuilding my trusty CP214 squeezer. I've just ordered the gaskets and leather diaphragm from US tools. But a couple of questions to those who have gone before:

  • I gather than the leather diaphragm goes in totally dry? No lube in the piston section?
  • For the rolling bearings, should I look for a grease that seems similar to the old stuff or just use white lithium instead?
  • To get the two steel plates out it seems that there is one remaining pin. Should I drive that pin out with a punch and hammer? (I might skip cleaning those parts/bearings if I can't get them out)
