Park pcs-9 repair stand problem
My brother left his repair stand with me so I could fix some bikes easier, but I am having trouble with his repair stand. The part of the stand that clamps onto the bike does not want to rotate easily. Most of the time it does not rotate at all. It's a pain when you want to switch from top tube clamping to seat tube clamping. Anyone run into this situation? The stand is a Park Tool PCS-9

The stand holds rotation by drawing two cones into each other. Remove the screwed lever at back, slide the entire jaw out, and check the conditions of the cones, on the jaw and the stand and the liner between them. If all look OK, it probably needs a bit of grease. I use Vasoline since it tends to be non reactive with plastics.
