I've never gotten the complete low-down on WD40 but it's my understanding
that it dries out and leaves a residue behind. You can't lube anything with
it for this reason. It really is just for getting seized parts loose, or so
I'm told. Ever since it became commonplace (there was a time when it
wasn't) every weekend warrior has been using it like duct tape.

Have you tried heating the stiff bearings? That might work if you don't get
carried away.
