you mean this:
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Catastrophic lubrication failure?

I think failure to lubricate rather than lubrication failure

Easy: wait for flames to die down then a liberal squirt of WD40 to lubricate the shaft innards. Finally, seal the hole with the duct tape. Should be good for another 4k-5k IMHO.
