Lubing ES cubes (4,5)

[abr71310]

Hey guys, I need some help!

I tried lubing my 4x4x4 ES cube that I just got today (which is AWESOME) -- but when I took a dedge out, it was SO HARD to put it back in, that I freaked out and instead of lubing I spent 3 hours trying to get the darned thing back in!!!

The Eastsheen cubes are famous for having so many moving parts on the insides of the cubes, so here's my "question":

How does one go abouts lubing a 4x4x4 and a 5x5x5 without having to totally disassemble or fix the cube?? -- I want to do the least amount of disassembly for the most amount of "space" to lube... (I want to lube it just like a 3x3x3 -- 6 edges, 2 min work in, just like Badmephisto! ^^)

Is it possible or do I just have to live with uneven lubing??

I never lubed my ES 4x4

Ive seen a video of how to disassemble and reassemble without a screwdriver.

Perhaps that would help?
Im too lazy to find the url for you though. D:

I disassembled and sprayed each of my ES 4x4s and it took around 45 mins each time. (I have 5, 3 have worn out)

I've heard that you should never lube an Eastsheen. Well i did xD.

Um what i did was just turn 45 degree of each layer and spray a tiny bit of lube onto that platform. works for me!

I've never heard that. The only thing I've heard was you should never mess with the screws on an ES. Lubing, however, you should definitely do .

I messed with the screws on my 4x4, lubed the whole thing by taking an edge part out and spray it in there, and put a little bit on the inside of the center piece, and it was a lot easier to turn. It will start to fall apart so I super glued one of the screws, and might have to do the rest. On the 5x5, turn it 45 degrees, pop out the center edge piece like you would a 3x3. Spray in there, turn a lot.
I have heard to not lube an Eastsheen, I think whoever says that does not know cubes very well. My 4x4 is really loose now, to the point where I can take out the 2 edges easier. 5x5 has not loosened, got my second one, lubed it and it is so much better. 2x2 is really easy to turn if you lube it too.
