The sticky problem of the x52 can be solved.
Put some plastic compatible grease* between the spring dish and the base as well as on the rod of the spring dish.

*: I found Motorex bike grease 2000 to work very well, also most silicon greases should be ok also.
Never - Never use WD40, it's actually pure gasoline(90%).
You cant even use it to clean, as the 10% of oil it has in it will leave a thin oil layer which will make it impossible to reapply any grease on the cleaned item.
Isopropanol alcohol is the fluid of choice if you need to clean plastic parts.
