Default Take apart Ranger VFO drive mechanism?

I am starting the reassembly of my Ranger. The large brass VFO dial
drive mechanism (Jackson Drive?), is a bit tight and bumpy when
turned. I tried getting a little light oil down inside where the thing
rotates but this didnt seem to help much. Can this thing be taken
apart and lubricated somehow? After turning it a bunch it seems to
have loosened a slight amount but still can barely turn it by hand and
feels like the bearings are dry. Any suggestions?? Thanks de Randy,
