[TenTec] PTO rebuild question

[Andrew Moore]

Finally rebuilding the Triton 540 PTO here.

Step says to grease the threads inside the pistol.  Done.  But are you
supposed to also grease the outside surface of the 1/2-inch or so diameter
core (medium gray color, with ribs) which moves in/out of the PTO coil?  I
don't recall degreasing the inside of the PTO core when I took all this
apart (been a couple months) so I'm guessing no but wanted to check with the
list.

Thanks,
--Andrew
