Bed Step hard to Move

[Dave01]

Don't laugh at me ... I was picking up a piece of equipment with a friend helping me yesterday. I shoved the bed step out and used it, when done I had trouble getting it retracted, ended up kicking it a few times. One of the kicks didn't go so well, bruised the outside of my foot. Nothing serious, just foolish on my part, especially wearing sneakers.

My step seems to be harder to extend and retract now compared to when new. Not sure if I have the wrong technique/angle when doing it. I haven't looked yet to see if there is a zerk on it.

Anyone find a way to make it work easier?
