I think you can lube the bushings from the splash shields. I uses a spray can of white lithium grease with the little tube on the end for accuracy. If you have not replaced the plastic gear now is the time! Getting the headlight regulator out with the radiator in-place is not something you want to try unless you have a forward leaning setup. Even then it is a challenge.
