Phil,
You probably don't need to apply any grease to the pin itself but it might help ward off any rust that may develop. I've never applied any to my pin and pulled it for over 10 years. I do like the teflon or nylon or whatever material those pads are made of. I'd hate to have to revert to using grease like they did in the old days. I'd have grease from one end to the other! And of course the grease will attract dirt. I do spray all the stress points and the pin with WD 40 from time to time. I also spray on some silicon from time to time. Everything seems good so far. Good luck, Dennis
