I think you should coat the stanchions where they fit the triple clamps at
least. They seize in and can be an utter pigs to get out.

Actually I think there's a factory tool to remove stanchions, but I've not
seen one & they probably break like several of the other tools. It's Mr
Mallet for me!

I remember reading or hearing a while back that on loop frame, drum
brake front forks you are supposed to liberally coat the fork springs
with a thick grease prior to installation. Is this an old wive's tale
or is it recommended and necessary?

As I remember, the reasoning I heard was that it kept the springs from
being noisy. Is that correct? Any feedback would be appreciated.
