Expert Reply:

I checked out the installation instructions for a Reese Sidewinder and per the instructions the only time the wear plate is lubricated is during the initial installation.

Per the instructions, the only items lubed for maintenance is to frequently lubricate the wedge surfaces, back side of the king pin, and the skid plate surface. If resistance is present in the Sidewinder arm, then apply a lithium grease to the bearing surfaces.
