Default 4* 40 Question

I am currently building a Sig 4* 40. I have not gotten time in a while to work on it, but it is coming along slowly but surely.

The question I had is this. When I installed the aileron torque rods onto the trailing edge of the wing, I was sure to keep CA out of the brass bearings. But, later on as I was trying to fix a peice of sheeting on the rear of the wing, some thin CA snuck into one of the bearings (you all know how thin CA likes to travel). I did not notice it when it happened, and I found out later. Anyways, the rod is not completely locked up, it can move, but it is a lot harder to move that one than the other completely free one. I was wondering if there is anything I could do to try to remedy this mistake, or do I have to take it off and get a new one from Sig and try again? I have tried putting debonder in the bearing a couple of times and flushing it out, and it seems to help a little, but not completely fix the problem.

Any ideas, hints or tricks that will help me out would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
