No, they should remain completely free of grease or they will swell and gum up. If they get any grease on them they will stick and need to be replaced.

Oh s**t
I know what I am doing tonight.

So how are the last leg extensions of the tripod cleaned -- fresh water and sand removal only?

Brian,

I miss-read your post! I thought you said non-metallic BUSHINGS! The threads are ok to grease, just not the BUSHINGS.

Sorry, my mistake!
