Default Chuck cleaning

I've got a Bison 6 jaw Set-Tru chuck on my lathe and it has got harder
and harder to open and close. I've sprayed in silicon lubricant and
Dri-slide a few times to try and lubricate it. I just decided to take
it apart and clean it. I've got the jaws out of it now and there was
no swarf in there and very little dirt. what I have found is the dry
lubricant that I have sprayed into it. I'm in the process of cleaning
it now and was wondering if it supposed to be lubricated and if so,
what should it be lubricated with?
As always, your help will be certainly appreciated.

A good water-resistant synthetic grease will do fine.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
