My brake load sensing valve linkage is stiff- what is the best way to free this up and what is recommended to lubricate the linkage with?

Just get some WD40 or similar on it and start moving it with some mole grips or similar until it frees up.

They keep seizing by the way so keep an eye on it. The handbrake cables have a tendency to stick as well Thumbs up

Thanks.

I have dosed it a couple of times in WD40 now and it appears to be less stiff. Is it worthwhile spraying it with some sort of grease?

It won't hurt it. I fitted a new one and my rear brakes now work.
