Chris,

I think others have addressed the problem(s)  you may have.  I wanted to
note that using WD-40 as a general purpose lubricant ["and I have
lubricated the pedal shaft with WD40"] has some risks.  WD-40 is as much a
solvent as it is a lubricant, perhaps more so.  It has utility as an aid in
taking things apart, but even the producer recommends other products [3-in-1
oil] for application where lubrication is the primary objective.  WD-40 also
attacks some elastomers.
