I can confirm that the plastic pads are super tight, so grease is a must. Perfect when greased. I imagine they will loosen up with time and additional grease will not be necessary. Others should also know that the roll-pin/tension pin is in a tapered hole...so when removing you need a drift of no more than 3/16" (IIRC) When installing use a larger drift that bottoms out in the taper...then you know the pin is in the correct position.
