Yes i've done it.Remember the hinge pins roll in a fibreglass type bush.This bush is what wears out.You are right lubrication is the way to go.There is even a cast on the gimble where the grease nipple should go.I made new pins like the HP gimbles have.1" bar welded to 3/4" round plate,tapped and bolted that to the gimble ring and drilled out the thread in the helmet and fitted grease nipples.
