    Engine stand rotation

    I bought a 2000 (?) pound engine stand from HF years ago and it seems to work great to hold my BBC. However, it's almost impossible to rotate with the full engine weight on it. What can I do to improve it? I didn't grease it and it has no zerk to do so. I thought about maybe using some sort of hub like one from a tri5 and machining a spindle to fit inside the engine stand tube so I could use bearings. Any other ideas? I don't want to be screwing around with it when I re-assemble my 502.
