[Rhodes22-list] trailer jack

[bgreenwald at optonline.net]

The moving parts on my three year old (triad) trailer swivel tongue jack are frozen - both the crank handle and the spring and handle that locks and releases the swivel pivot.  I would like some guidance as to whether it is worth trying to salvage the whole unit and, if so how to go about it.  I know tongue jacks aren't terribly expensive but if there is a relatively easy way to loosen it up that might be easier.  I have already spritzed the visible parts with a nut loosener but to no effect. Thanks in advance.
