Hi, great to see how to remove a stairlift. I would love to see how to put an acorn stairlift back on to its rail. I need to replace the top of rail sensor, since the stairlift isnt stopping at the top. Changing the sensor looks straightforward, but i would like to be sure i can put the chair back on the rail successfully.
Thanks for the video suggestion. We have added that to the list of new videos we want to make. In the meantime, when you put the unit back on the rail make sure you keep it aligned with the rail, both up/down and right/left. Once the rollers are on the rail it should slide right on.
I'm cleaning up an older Acorn 120 and a couple of the nylon rollers in the bottom of the chair unit seem a little stiff like they need lubricated. They don't seem worn out or sloppy, just roll a little stiff. They are not rolling freely. I'm considering putting the chair on its side then putting a drop of oil so it can get down around the shaft. I'm just not sure what kind of lubricant to use. I don't want to put something that will "eat" the nylon roller. Anyone have any ideas on what type of lubricant to use?
Thank you for such a clear, concise and beautifully presented video.
Thanks .. great help. Disassembly went verysmoothly
Thank you for the feedback.

We have had good luck with WD-40 for this application. Using the spray straw application works well and doesn't seem to cause any long-term damage.
