I have a couple of those LMO's if all else fails, but expect that as the

I would bet you are right about that!

WD-40 will loosen up the old grease, but after a while it will evaporate
and just congeal again. I recommend first using WD-40 or something similar
to get the old gunk out, and maybe a naptha soak if you want to pull it
apart. Get all of that out, then try something like Permatex Superlube
spray to get some new lubricant in there.

WD-40 is a great solvent and water dispersal agent, but it's a lousy
lubricant and it eventually evaporates and leaves gummy varnish behind.
