In this case, a stitch in time, eh? A good warning to us all… a bit of lubrication on these joints could prevent a lot of strain on weaker components.
Don’t use WD40 folks – a common error, it’s not a lubricant. Better to use a proper lubricating spray, like the one Nozzi’s found, or 3-in-One, or even some drops of engine oil.
Thanks, Nozzi.
