+1 - but just greasing is not the whole story. Check Park/Sheldon sites for info on overhauling, including inspection of bearing surfaces. Also avoid reusing the ball bearings - they are meant to be sacrificial and are not practical to inspect. Absolutely do not reuse if they have any less than a mirror finish.
