Michell Gyrodec, main bearing lube

I've had my Michell Gyrodec for a little less than ten years and have never lubed the main bearing since I did it during set up.  Artech, its distributor, says it should be done every five to six years. Instructions for lubrication look very complicated and easily screwed up. Does anyone on this board have experience lubing the main bearing? How has that gone? Any cautions or suggestions based on experience?

 I am considering using the silicone nitride ball in place of the steel one as recommended by hdm above , but some discussion on vinyl engine says this is a bad idea and could cause damage. Anyone else have experience of using the silicon ball and could comment on this before I take the plunge.

I don’t want to do damage.
