Also don't over tighten the lids, they deform and create a gap for the fluid to creep out and go to work on the metal bits,
Good work on the jis driver sir, only ones that i have is on my vessel impact driver, had it for ages and with perfect results.
never had any stuck screws in a long time, sometimes you have to " assist "the design by good maintenance, not doubting your skills but having grease in important places ( most bolts ) extends their service life, grease is cheap but messy to work with but paper towels clean fingers very well, still nicely saved screw, could have been a lot worse.
The other overlooked place is under the boot on the back of the piston, if not greased it can create a mess with escaped traces of fluid in the circlip area.
As long as it is not general purpose Lithium Grease, that is not good for rubber. You would want to be using a rubber friendly silicon grease or similar.
