I bought a set of used American Standard tuners for my self-build Strat and a couple of them are very stiff. I have tried loosening the screw but that does not make a lot of difference.

Can these tuners be lubricated?

No.

Are the tuners stiff off the guitar? It might be a slight misalignment of the mounting holes.

Thanks John. I'll check.

I removed the tuners and they were just fine. It is only when there is string tension that they become stiff and notch.

However, as luck would have it I saw for sale on Facebook marketplace a set of tuners taken from a 2015 Strat at a very reasonable price so I bought them. Installed them yesterday and all is well!
