I removed all of the handles yesterday, they all had grease so I liberally re-greased them and added some to the moving parts that had none. I discovered a can of CRC dry graphite spray and used it on a couple of them.
The fuel bay handle had the most corrosion, the mechanism was dragging and during bench testing it completely stuck. It should be covered to protect it.
The battery bay handle was clean but dragging and during bench testing it completely stuck.
Both wet bay handles had a slight amount of debris on them but were operating freely.
All other bay handles were clean and operating freely.
