Re: Yamaha 221 11 bass o-rings

Yes Chris, using some product that might accelerate their demise was my concern. I know from installing o-rings in automotive applications, that using vegetable oil or similar to assist getting them in position is usually advised.
Whatever I use it needs to be something that will not affect the rubber, plastic body or the plating on the bell.
I thought the Yamaha website might have some advise but I cannot find anything. I might just see if Dr Slick does the job initially because as far as I can gather its plant based.
At the moment I have to grip the lower joint tighter than I would like.
