Single handel kitchen faucet: Over time the swivel of the faucet spout had become very stiff. How can I lubricate it or make it as easy to move back and forth as when it was new.

Shut-off the water, pull the handle and the spout. change the 2 "O"ring and make sure the spout body has no dirt in them. apply some the plumbing grease bewteen the spout body. put everything back.
How does one remove the cap (w/ straight indents for a wrench) above the O-ring? It just spins.
About the only thing that can be done is to replace the inside of the faucet. You can pick a kit up at a Home Depot or a hardware store. Cost of 10-15 dollars and it is not that hard to do.
Hope this helps
