Question for Glowstep owners

I installed a set of the Glowsteps last season along with a few other folks. I left them extended over the winter and when I went to collapse them for our first trip out in April, they were so dang tight I could barely budge them.

Has anyone else had this problem? I seem to recall someone getting some upgraded washers and/or bolts from Torklift. Am wondering if some dry lube will help or will backing off the nylock nuts work or both.
