More Spring Cleaning

Noticed my trailer jack is hard to crank this time.
Figure 1 of two things. The last 60 mph storm rocked it enough to bend it. Or it just needs lubrication. Let's run with the idea of lubrication.

So how do I lube this and with what? I don't want to just start taking thing apart if it's a simple lube point that I'm recognizing.

Well, that's at least a reminder not to be under things that can fall even when a fall isn't expected.

Remove top cap...then you can disassemble further.
Remove handle/gears/inner tube OR just grease it from top

Becoming very indebted to you, OB. Thank you.
