Which "spray lubricant" did you use, WD40 or other ?    Nice clean up.

WD-40 is more of a cleaner and water displacer than a lubricant.  Yes, it does leave a bit of lube behind - but there are more effective lubes out there.

 

For light duty linkages and such, I'm kind of partial to a drop of good 'ol 3 in 1.

@SPINJIM  like Kroil  , marvel mystery , also use 2 2-6  dielectric  aerosol spray , won't harm plastic. once you start doing this easy , spray down , let sit a day , wipe down ,clean cloth , till dry .  do it again  next day , you start to see results , note , NEVER  use a rough scrunge pad or sandpaper   to remove paint , let the oil do  the conversion ,  doing this in hot weather , with warmer metal , you can watch it change . also do your plow blade , that slick finish stops rust , and  moves snow without effort . as said , once done , a simple oil lubricated cloth , freshens it right up , beads water like a duck , pete

often refer to aerosol lubrication on dry / faded / neglected paint , basically feeding / recovering that paint . let the oil soak do all the hard work, the related pictures , went thru a  2 day spray , soak  wipe down  , do it again phase. after 2 soaks , there was a  definite color base , used a 6" palm buffer with cleaner wax , paint just came right out as you see it , typically just rub them down wit clean cloth , lubricant , thats what they look like . amazing to me how once recovered , how easy it is to keep it that way .  also  show a heim  joint to plow blade lever  rod,688944768_IMG_04921.jpg.aafe0dcfc39fb86356a8eba7daf5166f.jpg

Pete, I am looking at photo #5 to find the bolt you told me to look at but l don't seem to see what your talking about,. Has it something to do with the center spring? Sorry to bug you on this!

I agree with you on this @peter lena . My Yukon is getting up in years and miles and it's BLACK. I picked up some 303 graphine detailer last year and was impressed. It was a bit pricey so I might give the Black Magic a shot at 1/3 of the price. :thumbs:
