Since I just got back from the service center where my front landing gear was seizing up. Basically to unhook from my truck it would lift for a while but toward the end of the process it would seize up and the clutch would stark kicking in, loud knocking and the clutch/motor assembly would visibly rock back and forth. Finally I hand cranked it up a 1/2 inch or so and got unhooked. Took it in. They basically said it was fine except it was dirty. Their advice to me was that he legs themselves need to be fully extended once a year and all grease and grime cleaned off of the legs. Then oil it with either wd40 (their preference) or a dry lube. They work fine now. So, it sounds as though the outside of the legs need as much maintenance as do the gears at the top of the mechanism.
