Fixing a Remis Skylight Winder mechanism

Fixing a Motorhome Remis Skylight Winder and cleaning the gearing to the hinges. ORIGINAL PROBLEM=The handle started clicking and then after forcing the handle snapped off. With the mechanism removed the time consuming part is the removal of all the hairs between the spiral wire using a wire brush. The spiral wire was then covered in copper grease before inserting back into the black metal guide pipes to each hinge. White lithium grease was sprayed on the cogs and sliding components. If the handle has snapped then a sirclip releases the handle from the lowered inner facia. A tip after repair is to always push up/support weight of Perspex skylight when opening.
