I should add something. Once you get it free and working, clean it
off, dry it off, and put graphite powder lube on it. That won't attract
and trap dust.

My favorite lube for something like this is Boeshield T-9. It is a
liquid spray lube that penetrates but does not have the stickiness
problem associated with other lubes. It was developed by Boeing and is
available from aircraft supply outlets, and I have seen it in marine
stores too.

Breakfree CLP has been used by the military for years in -60 to 100 degrees,
on every thing from weapons to lubricating hinges. It repels dirt, water,
salt, and never gets sticky but what do I know.
