If you did a decent job of oiling the torque rod, you will have a nicely working part, if not, then get out the jackhammer and start over.[

My first attempt using this method required a jackhammer and I have been afraid to try it again. It has been awhile but it seems I used Vaseline rather then oil.
I like to use candle wax. Coats the metal fairly well.... and it provides lubrication afterwards
