    The compressed air cleaning out the dust was so satisfying 😂

    I didn't have the silicon paste, but I did have some silicon spray for my garage door, which apparently works great!

    I Was about to take my Crybaby apart and regrease the mechanism. I did do it a few years ago so I assumed that was what was creaking. Been bugging me for the past 3 days and I saw this and wouldn't ya know it - its the REAR hinge. A bit of WD40 and it sounds just fine as in silent! Thank you!

    My issue wasn't the squeaking but hard it was to move the wah up and down i think i need to re grease it

      That should help! I'd also double check that the pressure element isn't too tight against the rack, as that can also cause stiffness!

      That sounds like a screw or washer problem to me, try tightening the screw that runs through the rocker first, then tightening the tension clutch 😊

    I did exactly that but way before watching this video and now my pedal (a cry baby) don’t stay in place.. it closes by itself when lifted up

    • @ConorRocksYT

      Sorry to hear that! If it's closing by itself it's either the tension clutch that needs tightening or tightening the treadle! 😊

    WD40 made it worse :(

      Sorry to hear that! It's worked for me when I've had this problem.
      Is the squeaking definitely coming from the back hinge?
      If it is - and the WD40 still hasn't worked, you can use a bit of lithium grease on the hinge. The best way to get it in would be remove the pin from the footrocker, lubricate the joints and reassemble.
      Let me know how you get on!
