It's all to easy to think "Oh I will leave that on for tomorrow" then get distracted and come back in a months time to find it stuck.

Many thanks for the tip. I was going to go at it with a bit of bread soda and vinegar but would a bit of wax or axle grease be any harm?

Machine wax, or PTFE basically dry lubricants are best, axle grease will collect dust and cause problems. But remove anything screwed on every night and leave the thread dry and clean and you shouldn't have any further problems.
