Another more instantaneous technique !
Nearly 50 years ago, nearly every car I touched had a Lucas generator with
a bronze rear bush - they were always failing - because the owners did not
lubricate them.
When replacing, we always filled the new one with light oil then squeezed
between our thumbs and enjoyed watching the oil oozing out !
Just tried it again with the spigot one - larger thums needed but bronze
oilite is bronze oilite and yes it does ooze out with pressure !

<p>Sintered phosphor bronze is porous and should be soaked in oil
before use. Usually a lightweight oil is used. Place the spigot
bearing in a small container with oil making sure the spigot is
fully covered, heat the container "au bain marie" in e.g. a=
large
sauce pan for obvious safety reasons to near boiling point of the
water and keep it there for a while so most air can escape (air
will expend during heating up) from the porous material. Then let
it all cool down to ambient temperature. The oil will then have
penetrated in the spigot bearing replacing the air in de phosphor
bronze.<br>
