I have a vintage Columbia 10" front vice that is in remarkable condition, but I would like to disassemble and totally clean and grease the parts for restoration. I have been treating the slide tubes, the two rear assembly screws and housings. I have been unable to loosen the screws and haven't removed the screw Carter pin. I ask for a location to obtain parts identification and recommendations on its disassembly. I will try to attach photos for clarity and identification.

The rods were peened over after assembly, clearly they were not intended to disassemble. Cleaned them by hand with some 3M pads.

Welcome to GJ.
More commonly called a woodworkers vise, that one looks pretty pristine. I'd lube it and use it.

Thanks everyone for your comments and yes I was leaning in that direction, but not having experience with this vice was looking for good input.

If the vice needs disassembly, is there a manual that guide the owner in its disassembly, lubricant and such operation? Thanks again!
