"Apply heat"

Get out the largest Weller gun, be prepared to maybe sacrifice the tip. Find a large solid knob with a flat pointed set screw and have at the ready. Flat set screw will not leave a "cup point mark".

Open the tip legs, those square wires and force around the shaft very close to the bushing, Be sure bushing nut is tight. Put on that good knob. Fire up the Weller, what is happening the shaft is short-circuiting the power yes some is going to the tip. Heat up til there is some sizzle from old lubricant, the shaft will now free up, feed a little more lube and manipulate as it cools..
