OK good pictures

As i can see in pictures there is rust present around the NIKE shaped weights.

1) Remove the silver springs. (They snap on to protruding posts).
2) lift out nike shaped weights.
3) clean rust off weights using very fine sand paper (Aprox 600 grit) or steel wool. Also use steel wool to clean rust off posts.
4) Wipe all parts clean of any grit.
5) lube post and nike weights with litheum grease.
6) re-insall.

Hope this helps.
