There might be some dried hard grease in the pivot parts. If the oil that you applied does not get things moving in a few days try taking some mineral spirits and apply to the many points. Charcoal lighter and mineral spirits are one and the same so one does not have to buy a gallon. May take up to a week to get things working. Good luck David
