I have a 25-year-old Berlebach Report 3032 tripod (much like the current model Report 432 tripod) that has a built-in ball head. It's been moving pretty stiffly for years (decades) and I want to losen it up a bit. When I first got it the ball head seemed a little lose, but that went away pretty fast. There is no scoring on the ball so I do not think any sand or dirt has gotten inside the mechanism. And there is no way I'm going to add oil to the ball for fear of permanently making it too loose.

Has anyone done work on the ball to clean and tweak it for better performance? Is it easy to disassemble and put back right?

Thanks in advance, Bruce
