Lubing a Webley Tempest while assembled?

Hello all,
My old Tempest .177 is in need of a little lubing. I began to take it down, but changed my mind, reassembled and still have a dryish Webley.
I would love to know of a way adequately lube her up without fully dissembling her. All the roll pins and springs have me intimidated.
Is there a way I can dissolve some moly with another oil to apply, or cut the clear lube for the seal somehow? Can I just place a little clear near the seal and be assured it will migrate?
I think in the past I have applied SAE30 to the innards. I'm the original owner. I never used anything like WD40.
I also understand they like to be a "Little wet"?
Any advice would be appreciated. Also I have a PDF I made from the scanned original manual. I sent it to GTA for the libaray years ago. Not sure if it made it there or not.

Funny, I found my own same question from awhile ago! Top Google hit and still no real answer.

Have you tried asking on the yellow forum?

I had some questions about my P1 that I posted on a couple forums. I got the best response from the yellow with advice for working on the P1.

I forget where I heard it from. For my RWS34, I mixed up some moly with some 30 weight oil. 1 tablespoon of moly and enough oil to make it liquid. I removed the stock added, with an eyedropper, 2 drops on each side of the receiver tube. Stood the 34 against my bench, muzzle down. I left it there for several hours. I put the action back in the stock and worked the barrel several times, not fully cocking it.
This seemed to let some lube down near the piston and the gun feels smoother and the seal does not honk. There was no dieseling noticed.
