easy Petcock rebuild question

[226dark]

I am getting lazy with the search function and don't have internet at home

Very quick question:
When put together with the new rubber gasket on the lever, the lever turns very tight (fine and good), but is it better to add a small amount of grease, any lube, to turn easier and not damage the new gasket?
Probably what I will do. THX

Do you mean the o-ring? I use a little armorall works good. I guess a little grease would work.

Yea,the o-ring around the lever itself making it very, very tight to turn.
Good advise. thought of maybe even belt dressing. I use auto fan/ serpentine belt dressing/ conditioner to soak all old rubber bits in, and they do exactly that, soak the stuff up. In this case brand new o-ring and prob do the ArmourAll, Right on
