Default Omnipower Height adjustment problem

Alright, this isn't really appearance, but i couldn't really think of where to put this so I could get EVERYONE to look.

I've read one or two cases on here where some people's omnipowers had the 19mm nut on the top seize on them. By seize, I dont 'mean completely lock up, but I am still able to loosen the nut if I use an allen key to hold the shaft still. Before, I could just use a simple deep socket 19mm ratchet and loosen or tighten that nut. But just a couple of days ago while i was raising the coilovers, The front passenger nut and shaft seized. It's not much of a bother to me, but it would just save me time if I could simply turn the nut without holdin the shaft in place with the allen wrench.

Has this happend to more of you out there with omnipowers? Did simply replacing the 19mm nut with a new one alleviate the problem?

has not happened to mine but I haven't touched them/changed the height since I got them.

Hasn't hasn't to me. Have you tried putting some lubricant on the nut? I always put just a little on before loosening it.
