This is beyond pilot maintenance in EASA but 10 years or more back I had a

discus b and while the seat pan was out I decided to lub the control rod
where it passed though a white block on the starboard side .
It was a disaster,the block was nylon and it reacted to the while grease
(Vaseline) by swelling and making the controls stiff.
The Answer of course was to clean all the grease off clean the bore and we

used dry Ptfe but the real solution was not to have lubed in the first
place .
So I hope you get some sensible answers here but if you don't ask the agent

or if that fails the factory,they have always been helpful to me.
