I got the thicker cord and tried it out. It is very hard to turn the cap from the fully closed position with alot of slipping but much easier to turn it towards the fully closed position. I think this is being caused by a lack of proper lube on the bearings. I was using some Philips grease that was designed for gears and bearings but I think its just abit too thick.
Tomorrow I am going to pick up some Tri Flo and some Monkey Lube and see how those work.
