I don't know what "wrong lubricant" means. Assuming it's just siezed, not bent, I'd start with some good penetrating oil. Then maybe some heat and a little tapping and pulling on the end that sticks out to hold the eye the trip line attaches to. Once it's moving easily and cleaned out, you might keep it free with anhydrous lanolin, lithium grease or even Mystery Oil. But, you know, kerosene or motor oil or most anything will do it.

If you can get some good shark oil . . .

G'luck
