If you are having to use channel locks to loosen it, why are you tightening it so much?

Do the shovel an pick fold down?

WD40 should not have caused a problem. There maybe something in the threads causing the problem. (dirt/grit or a piece of shaved metal from the threads) Unscrew the sleeve and try cleaning the threads and flushing the inside of the sleeve with a cleaning solvent (kerosine/gas) then re-oil....

Also check to make sure the sleeve is not cross threading...

can't think of anything else....do...just looked at mine and I don't think disassembly is possible.
