for awhile simply rocking back and forth and pulling the handle would break something loose and the footrest would close. finally that stopped and jammed open and even when I turned it over and manually forced the ratchet loose the footrest would not close all the way no matter what I did with the handlle or how hard a tug I put on it and did not want to break the handle. No obvious rust wear markss or looose parts fell out....HELP !..is WD-40 ok for Lazyboy afterall?
