Thank you so much

Heat up the sprocket and put a Birthday Candle after you remove the Heat letvthe wax seep in

[@georgemartinezjr]

You can even lubercaite itcwithvWhite Spray Grease

[@BackyardRepairs]

That would work well, but I tried to avoid a lubricant that fertilizer etc would stick to which would cause more problems down the road

[@georgemartinezjr]

Instead of WD 40 used WD 40 Gel Lube

[@georgemartinezjr]

Its this that WD 40.is Penetrating oil/ water Displacemet / and degreaser. T evaporate and not really a Lubercant. Like Dry lube silacone . Maybe work better

[@BackyardRepairs]

thanks, my thought was that I would be reapplying light oil periodically as it dries out to avoid yard products from sticking. Maybe that graphite lubricant that's meant for door locks would have been perfect for this, but I did not think of it at the time

[@georgemartinezjr]

Did you use anti - seize on the Bushings

[@BackyardRepairs]

Just WD40 to lubricate

[@shajabo]

I need the parts you replaced. Where did you order them from. I thought I heard you say

[@BackyardRepairs]

I got them through Amazon. Checking quick It looks like they’re still available there
