;Diagnosis
: It's caused by lack of lubrication.
: Without any lubricant the aluminum stand wears away from the friction of putting the stand up and down.
: The bolt and bushing are steel; over time the the hole in the stand gets enlarged by the corrosion from the steel bushing.
;Solution Strategies
* Shim or replace the bushings.
* Replace the entire assembly including the bolt, bushing, and the stand.
*: When assembling the new one apply plenty of waterproof grease.
*: To get the spring on, mount the spring to the bike and stand with the stand in the up position.
*: Get someone to help, get the stand mounted as close as possible, have your helper ready with the bolt, give the stand a bit of a pull as your helper inserts the bolt.
*: Use blue locktite on the threads.
*: Keep it well lubricated with spray grease (not, say, WD-40) to avoid this from happening again.
