For lubricant on the spring, use Garage Door Lube. It is formulated for redundent springs. Lubricate the gaurd roller and linkage towrds the rear of the head. It does contain silicone so be careful with its application.

I'd like to see a video of where on the Kapex 120 to put the
WD-40 Specialist 300g High Performance White Lithium Grease (Garage Door Lubricant - DGL)

Doesn't have to spray just point to where it goes with a screw driver.

Do not use the lithium, grease will hold dust and particulates.

I agree with Tom, I use lithium or other thick grease only where it was originally used, say in a gear housing for a drill. . I use WD-40 "Dry Lube" on most moving parts that are exposed to dust. Please remember that WD-40 original is "water displacement" and is not meant for long term lubrication.

For moving parts, I usually go with this:

Use this one;

Be careful releasing the head after you lubricate it.

Wipe all the material contact surface down after the lube service.

Will do.
Many thanks.
