Never seen one bind (on an Omega).  If it did, I certainly wouldn't use a wet lubricant like WD40 (ignoring debates on if that is a lubricant)...

It's the first part in order to flush out any existing detritus before using 3in1 or similar, as per my earlier post.

Had one seize during the handover to its new owner, as Chris will attest, and had another on my ex plod and three on other members cars, plus Robsons. So it can and does happen.

Most of those were between 5 and 10 years ago, and the parts aren't magically getting younger. Or more prevelant.
