Spare tire and lowering mechanism maintenance

Hello everyone. My 2020 SR has the usual rear crank lowering system for the spare tire and was wondering what folks here do for maintenance and lubrication? I guess it's a good idea to drop it down, take off the spare, add air if necessary, lube everything once in awhile? I noticed some light rusting on the spare tire rim. I have a gallon of Woolwax and was going to coat it.

Also, speaking of Woolwax, does anyone in SE PA know who applies it? I saw some members here who get it done in Massachusetts.

 

I take mine down. Air up and Fluid film the shit out of it

^This. Exercise the mechanism a few times a year (you need to check tire pressure anyway). Then fluid film it once or twice a year. I know people with older Toyota trucks that never did this, and the mechanism is rusted in place.

 

Thanks. Good thing to do this weekend!
