Most of the videos I've found to disassemble a 2x2 are either using a non-rubik's brand or using a V2. Mine has become sticky and hard to turn and I'd like to lube it, but I can't figure out how to get it apart to use silicone spray, or any other means, to lube it. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Just throw it away and buy any other 2x2

Like others have said, any other 2x2 is better and probably cheaper, but if you're desperate, you can just pull the pieces apart (without taking them out) and apply the appropriate amount of lube on the inside.

This is just a quick and easy thread to show what lubes we use for the core and pieces. You can reply what lubes you use, and what you recommend to each turning style.

Lube I use
Core - Traxxas 50k or Wt. 5
Pieces - Wt. 3, Lubicle Silk, and DNM-37 to refresh the pieces

I lube the pieces with DNM-37 and Cubicle Silicone Wt. 1 for 2x2 and 3x3, just Wt. 1 for 4x4+, and DNM-37 for everything else. This makes the pieces very fast, smooth, and stable feeling for smaller puzzles and more controlable for bigger cubes. I never lube the core because I feel it makes the cube too slow and sluggish for my turning. This combination of lube is my personal favorite and I recommend it to people with fast, aggressive turning style.

Core: Lubicle Standard or Speedy, sometimes a heavier silicone.
Pieces: Lubicle Silk, One, and DNM-37. I used to use Speedy, but grew a rather extreme preference for a slick feeling, so even Speedy was a bit too heavy. Using all three does sound like a bit of a "just throw everything in" approach, but each one really does do something noticeably different that piles up into something that I quite like.
