My 31 Tudor is in really good touring shape having traveled over 41K in the past 14 years. It has never been restored, just "maintained"! I have been checking into ways to lubricate the leaf springs just to improve the ride, keep down the squeaks, and maybe extend their life.

Spring covers would contain lubrication and maintain the springs into the future, but, how do I get them lubricated before the covers go on?

I really don't want to go through the spreader process to disconnect the springs from the running gear. Is there a tool(s) that will separate the spring leaves so they can be lubricated? What is a good lube to use?

Any instructions, advise, pictures, videos, etc. would certainly be appreciated
