The tonearm pivot on the 35-1233 changer of my 41-608 is stiff to pivot.  In the image below, the tonearm lift (circled in green) moves up and down, and left and right, as expected during the Reject cycle.  However, the tonearm bracket (circled in red) barely rotates.  Trying to pivot the tonearm by hand requires more force than would be provided by the stylus tracking on a record.
   

I've applied penetrating oil to every location in the entire support assembly which I see rotates, but the pivot is still stiff.

Any suggestions as to why the tonearm pivot is so stiff?
