Need advice from someone with a brain ...

Years ago I acquired this Army trenching tool. It's my most favorite piece of fieldgear because (aside from a sapper-spade I don't own) performs most edged tool functions I normally need around the house or campsite.

Some dumbell (won't mention any names but his initials are M.E.) decided to oil up the mechanism. ("WD-40 makes everything better!") Soon as the stupid deed was done it became obvious that the stupid deed was done.

I need suggestions on how to un-screw this problem. (Disassembly and kerosene, soap and water, etc?)

Please...(trying to get in push-up position now)
