Hi. The hinge of my Montague got more and more stuck over the last few months. Now it can hardly be folded anymore.

I tried lubricating. I removed the two nuts below the seat. Underneath is a ring that can not be removed. I tried to lubricate anyway but it doesn't help, I suppose that ring prevents the grease from getting to the hinge.

Does anybody know how to lubricate the hinge? Thanks!

I would try thin, maybe penetrating oil for a start- not grease.
