StudioSpot CMY~how to realign the 4 dichroic wheels

I am cleaning / P.M.'ing our Studio Spot CMY units. I removed the four cmy wheels to clean them and now have a few questions:

1} how should I realign them when assembling the unit. - I noted that all wheels have holes that line up at either towards the center {beam path} of the unit or the flag motor before I removed them, can I just use that as a guide?

2} do the three little cogs & the raceway between each pair need to be lubed? - I have high temp caliper lube. should I clean this area out & re-grease it with several lite dabs? They looked as if they had been greased previously, but they cam from the same people that gobbed lube all over the iris of one of my studio colors.

I ask the wise wisdom of all, so that I may have fewer problems later. That & I don't want to make a bigger mess than I have already.:o

    I was dreading having to build & tear down the color unit multiple times. I made a depth gauge off of the other unit & got it on the 2nd try!!!

    The next time I will ask before I start pulling everything apart:poke:.

    For cleaning my other CMY I will make some type of 'cleaning prod' like you mentioned, and hopefully not make such a mess.

    Once again thanks, your help was great!
