Stiff pivot binding, best way to fix?

[waveshello]

This stuff is pretty good, pretty cheap, and plastic compatible (and food grade...):

Super Lube 41160 Synthetic Grease (NLGI 2), 14.1 oz Canister, Translucent White https://a.co/d/aYEIcbJ

I'm using it in pivots, Dynafit heel pieces, kingpin heels.

Mine actually feel exactly like they did before. Mine snap up fine, but the amount of force needed to push the heels down when existing is still too much. I have a pair of newer 18's that are like butter in that regard. But I've released out of the 155's when I've needed to so they must be ok. I hope.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is when the heel is completely apart (like in the pic below), check that the dildo can move with absolutely no friction. Gunky old grease can build up between the internal bushing and heel piece, causing a surprising amount of friction. Spray some silicone lube down into the heel and work it up and down till friction disappears.
