More seriously, I’d allow some time to clean and inspect the area. Above and slightly behind the motor housing is a prime rust area. Compost wedged in the scuttle corrodes outwards into the void, then spreads down the “branch” of bracing on the outside of the firewall-to-jamb closing panel.

So - wheel off, liner out, flyspray the area, dry vacuum, remove antenna, inspect and wash/treat as required. Then as Haynes like to say “Reassembly is the reverse of removal”...
Citroenbender,

If the lubricant doesn’t work, then your operation sounds like the next step.
