Does it have to come apart? Every ball joint I have successfully gotten apart had some form of hair pin spring retainer. I worry if it does come apart it will not reassemble. Can you just lube it?
But you just reminded me that I need to re-oil the control cables on the Kubota's joystick. A few years ago one got sticky so I gravity-oiled them using a hypodermic syringe & dripped oil on the inner part of the cable from the top. That seemed almost too easy, but it worked...well, it sort of worked...
This time I am going to see if I can use motorcycle control cable oilers to pressure-inject oil upwards from the bottom.
