[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1459519, member: 19880"] Penetrating fluid (even WD-40) will loosen it up and can get you going if stuck on the side of the road, but it REALLY needs to be dismantled, cleaned up and greased (as you mentioned). I do it every season along with clutch lever (especially brass bushing), front brake lever and shift linkage. (The OP has an AE, so the clutch and shift levers aren't a major issue.) I also flush brake and clutch hydraulic fluid every two years. [/QUOTE]
