Labelle 106 lube grease works well for me.

I take the body off, then take the trucks off of the frame, take the trucks apart, clean all the parts up.
Put the trucks back together, apply the grease, roll the trucks on the workbench while they are off the frame to get the grease through to all the gears then re-assemble.
Just be sure not to lose any parts in the process.
