And when the cover is off, smear a thin layer of silicone grease over the four posts and rubbers.  Do NOT use any petroleum based grease, such as copper grease, moly grease, or general wheel bearing grease - because it will rot the rubbers.  If you havn't got any silicone grease, then log onto www.Cromwell.co.uk, find your local branch, and get an 85g tube of Rocol Aqua-Sil - for a 'home user' a tube will last ages. 


EDIT: download the 2009 Cromwell pdf - http://www.cromwell.co.uk/images/publication/pdf/cat2009/07.pdf - page 1290 (bottom right) - product code ROC-770-6140Q - £10.60 (plus Darlings dibs)

Just be sure to lube the rubbers before you put the cover back on as it then makes any futher removal much easier.
