The groaning begins upon opening, continues for 45 degrees of arc, then quits. There is no play in the hinges according to the yank and heave test method. I have greased and re-greased the hinges over and over. I have soaked everything I can see with lots of Kroil Grease easily flows from the hinge parting lines. This is driving me nutz. Help!
