unitrak lube help

So I'm all set to lube her up and break open the manual to find step one is
: "Disassemble the unitrak".
Can anyone clarify? Does this mean just removing the pivot bolt? OR do I
also need to remove all the bolts holding the linkage and the rocker arm?
Any potential pitfalls to look out for?

I haven't done mine yet either; a reply to the list will be
appreciated. I searched the archives a couple of months ago but
didn't find anything really helful, so I put it off even longer,
which I know is't a good idea. However, it'll be raining here soon,
and I can roll the bike in the living room and do it.

Hi Bill,
It all needs to come apart, swing arm pivot as well. Old grease cleaned out,
bearings, bushings and pins(sleeves) checked, these will wear more than the
needle roller bearings. Re-grease with a waterproof moly grease and put back
together.......Just like that!!!!!! Late models are easier because its all
nuts, NO Circlips which are a right PAIN and often will need to be replaced
if bent, broken, when you take them out. I think they are all nutted post 96,
not sure. My D17 has the clips, my A14 is nutted.
Happy servicing,
Brian
