Never use WD40 is not a lube its a penatrating fluid for unseizing things however when it dries it dries out the mechanism.

You need to get more oil in. As its an emergency i would suggest you temp use vegtable oil. However long term use silicone spray grease available from a motor factors.

To get the veg oil in i would use a washing up liquid bottle to squart it in. You will need to put down a cloth and it will run off.

Even when you free it later there will be still run off so the cloth will have to be change.

Do not saturate totally. Squart about a table spoon into each roller. Give it a while then work the handle. You should only need to do this twice.
