Just to be absolutely clear, the "lifter arm" and "lifter locknut" referred to in the above concise instructions are to be found behind the gearbox sprocket cover. Note the cover is plastic so no need to overtighten the screws when you refit it, just a gentle nip.

It's worth taking the lifter off, just 2 M6 screws (10mm spanner/socket), and grease the helix and ball bearings. The lifter lever will simply rotate out of the body and you'll see the ball bearings, which should stay captive in the cage (if they don't you need a new one anyway!).

Grease and refit, there are a couple of positions it can end up in, if it seems totally wrong take it out and move round a slot in the helix. Digital camera is useful if you are in any doubt before taking anything apart. Don't overtighten screws.

Run some thin oil down the cable while you're about it.
