Greasing your Manfrotto legs and ball head.

What am I missing? All my lithium grease is white.

Go pull one of the wheels off you car and check the bearing. That bearing grease is most likely a thick lithium grease. Bet it's not white anymore. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Man they are good at overtightening. I just stopped short of getting a ratchet gun to remove half of the bolts and screws. I think I'll just end up sending it in.

Hmm that's strange. I took mine all apart and didn't have any issues at all.

It does seem a bit strange. I got an Allen key with a hand extension and put so much force on the bolt that I actually thought I may snap the key. Kudos to the bolt for not getting stripped.

Could be corrosion causing the problems. Get some penetrant and soak the entire head in it for a couple days. Then give it another try.
