Oiling 40 Ford Convertible Top Vacuum Cylinders?

[glennpm]

Hi,

Does anyone have an easy technique for adding a little oil to the vacuum operated vacuum cylinders? I'd like to just disconnect the air hoses at the operating switch.

I usually just operate the cylinders twice a season so they get little use. A week ago I lowered the top and it was a little slower than normal. I use the switch to get the top around straight up, move the vacuum switch to the middle, and then finish the lowering by hand.
