Or powdered mica, which is much easier to get a hold of. If the
original graphite and Vaseline has oxidized to a lumpy solid it must be
removed from the spring by mechanical means. Or the use of chemical
solvents that are no longer available.

Hello Greg,
I cannot agree more. I put a spring in a plastic bag with WD-40 for long term
storage and the spring rusted. WD-40 does nothing to help removing old grease
and gasoline actually make it harder to remove.
Molybdenum-disulfide performs the same function as graphite without the
abrasive qualities of the graphite.
