UH, I don't believe the red rubber grease is for anything but rubber!
You should read the directions, they call for the sort of black/gray leather
lube that you never seen to have enough of...
Silicon spay is probably the best I have used.
Also, as you say, the plunger needs to be aligned with the bore as told in
the instructions (loosen the 3 bolts that hold the vacuum canister to the
aluminum
body, cycle the vacuum plunger in and out, then tighten the 3 bolts).
