Personally, I would pull it down, CLEAN, and lubricate the PTO, and reassemble, 
and enjoy. I did it last time to a nasty "swap queen", and it worked a treat, 
no kit from the Mother Ship needed.  Ed, K9EW, (Hey, Ed.... still have the K2 
you picked up here in Michigan?)... has a nice rebuild page on his web site. 
It's detailed for a 515, but most of it applies to any of the PTO rebuilds:

Subject: [TenTec] Tuner stiff on Century 21
 
Well my mint 21 has a stiff tuner.  Time to rebuild it I guess.  The question 
is, should I just send it in to TenTec and get a complete tune up, everything 
else is working FB, tuning seems spot on, or should I find someone to rebuild 
it that has experience in it, or finally should I attempt to do it my self?   
Does anyone know what a rebuild and tuneup would cost?
