    You think just a little lube to get them moving might do the trick?!?!

    Yeah, you never know. Since the shackles nuts/pins can be seized up (at least in rust country where I am) you probably want to check them anyway before proceeding, as you might need to buy new ones. If they are seized, but break free, I would be really curious what effect loosening them up and lubing would have on your leafs (maybe nothing) but it cant hurt as a first step.

    Mine didn't look bad at all on the outside, and once I got the nuts loose, I still had to hammer them a bit, and then they were suddenly loose. Inside there was just a little bit of white corrosion on shiny metal. I was ready to order greaseable shackles, but since they looked so good I lubed them and put them back.
