The wing root bearings on my Ventus are difficult to align and require force to rotate to the right position of parallel to the face of the spar.
Tried greasing, but suspect it needs a clean up first.
What would you use to clean and free them ?

Light oil, like 3 in 1, apply, exercise, wipe crap, repeat until free.
Then carefully inspect.
Good luck
