There's a tiny drilling which feeds grease into the space between the stub axle and the damper blade bearing washer/plate. The issue I have is how to lift it without damaging the bearing face of the plate. To 'pry' means to insert a tool - pry bar or screwdriver in the gap and lever against the spring tension. If you damage the bearing plate it will probably stiffen the steering more than not prying. It's a difficult call, but with minimum tension on the spring with the weight off the wheels, some grease should get in. If you really want to pry, use a sharp edge like a chisel, and insert one each side. That's the best option other than not doing it!!!
The solution is Mulfab steering bearings.......
