Re: (Curiouz_G)

ive had them in the same position for only a few months, maybe 3. When i did before it was difficult, but not impossible like it was today. This might be super stupid, but would wd-40 help or spmething. And whats PB?

WD-40: water-based lubricant (and a poor one at best)
PB Blaster: anti-seize spray (one of the best on the market)

Most hardware stores carry it. I get mine from the local True Value. And, I've seen them at Ace hardware and Advanced Auto Parts.
