Further to Mike's suggestion re using WD40 -
I'd use ACF 50, its far better than WD, and doesn't 'dry out', its a product used in the aircraft industry, the freeing & corrosion protection properties are excellent. I used it on my (marine use) jetski & suffered no visible corrosion where I used it in 5 years, I also use it on my '8' & my Harley I'd highly recommend it

Hi Simon,
A lot of motorcycle stores stock it.... I got mine on a visit to Riders of Bristol Amazon stock it, and the corrosion block grease (which is also excellent) Some online bike/ performance places stock it. Its not cheap (£30 a quart) but really does go a long way. I prefer the liquid version that comes with a hand pump spray, rather than the aerosol spray type, as its much more versatile. Its made by Lear Corporation hope that helps richard.

I too would like to add a word of caution on using WD40. It is great at 'freeing' things but its lubrication properties are short lived and it can often displace the original lubrication leaving as stated dry contact surfaces. If you use WD40 to free something ensure you apply an appropriate long life lubricant after, and repeat the lubrication 2-3 weeks later else you could find your fix is unfixed worse than ever.
Different joints need different lubrications but one I find handy to have in my tool box which both is fairly effective at freeing up and has a reasonable duration of lubrication properties is silicone grease spray, which is what I believe Audi use for the likes of lubrication of door locks etc. Haven't tried ACF 50 but I'll keep my eye out for some.
