[GreenKeys] M15 type bars stiff

[Bruce Gentry]

The corrosion and residue of mouse wizz and crap is far more soluable in 
water than oil.  Try soaking the basket in very hot water with 
dishwasher detergant in it. Let it cool enough to safely handle, then 
start working the parts carefully, dunking it frequently as you work 
things loose. It will take effort and patience. Once everything has 
freed up, rinse it and work the parts in clean water before drying it 
out and lubricating.
