> I put WD 40 on the nuts at the end of the shaft

That was your first mistake; nowhere on the can will you find the word
lubricant. All i use WD40 for is cleaning parts, so when YOU spray it on
something, to lubricate it , all you are doing is washing out any grease
that was in there. Sure it helps; until it evaporates.
Sounds like the bushings are seizing on the shafts. You could try some
real penetrating super lubricant (ask at FLAPS)else you need to take them
apart and start replacing parts.
