>From what I was told, the pulling out of slides without pressing the valve down sucks the oil from around the valves and could reduce the amount of necessary lubricant from that area. Just how difficult is it to press valves down and pull a slide off? I've been doing that ever since I was told (35+ years ago) and it's no great mind-bending feat. Even boys can multi-task on this one! Simply hold the horn in the left hand, all valves depressed and remove which ever (pair) of slides you wish to empty. Equalising the air pressure makes the job easier too and removing the upper and lower at the same time makes sure you never get caught out with errant puddles therein.
