5: Re-grease but do NOT overgrease. White lithium may be a little too thick so I usually just scoop some grease from FP gearboxes and drop it into the banebots gearboxes.
6: You should be good to go

Gear dust + thick grease without going through this process will bind up your 16:1 gearbox.
Is it bad that I am using white lithium grease? It's the only grease my team has. And do we need to disassemble the gearbox so often?
