Bill said: "You may want to repin so you can check the condition of the pins. If they're rusty, lube will be a short lived solution."

Bill,
Usually, IMO, Lubing is simply putting off the inevitable need to re-pin. So, in that regard you are correct. However, since center pins are not Steel, your idea that a center pin could be "rusty" is very incorrect. They may have corrosion, but not rust.<G>
Regards,
Joe
