Took the opportunity to wire brush it and paint it without taking it off. Actually in reasonable condition.
Once dry a liberal covering in copper grease will be applied.
Thanks for the help.
Why didn't you just take it off, it's dead easy to do. It seems daunting but you just do one side at a time and it's simple to remove and put back on.
Don't use copper grease on the pivot, that's used for threads to stop seizing, just use the heaviest grade grease you have.
