We've had at least one or two reports of the adjuster locking up.  I'll have to see if I can find them...

Ok, try some Liquid Wrench Dry Lubricant.  You don't want to use something like WD40.  You may also have to use a strap wrench for some extra oomph...

Don't know if you can get it in Italian....and if you can't, I'm sure you can fabricate it.  ;)

Here's the only thread I found.  I think that there were some more but they were lost in the old forum.. :'(

I'm not exactly sure what you did except to take it apart and clean it.  Not sure what that spray was that you used.  But am glad it worked for you.  I was half expecting it to fly apart in your hands.  That would have been funny.  At least we know it can be done and thank you so much for the video.  :thumbs: :goodpost:
