I wouldn't recommend WD-40 as it is a water repellant with minimum
lubricating properties. It was invented to keep the gimbles on rocket
engines moving under harsh conditions so they wouldn't freeze from liquid
propellents flowing through them. I use Silicon lube for automotive seals
for the planes I build for kids. Even if they would wash it from getting
dirty it still lubes.
