I agree, thank you for the tips.
I put some synthetic gear lube through it and that seemd to take away 90% of the noise.
It needs to be adjusted and I will leave that until the winter as the bike rides fine.
To bad I boogered up the notches. But I will get it loosened one way or another.
I may tack on two small amounts of metal with my mig and then put a spanner across it.
