Installed new sod so I wanted to lower wheels so deck wouldn't cut too much. Three wheels dropped right down with a tap on the stud. Fourth wheel took a little more persuasion and moved about a half inch. I still need another half inch to go to make it the same as the other three. I think I may have bumped the bracket holding the stud and now its squished. WD40 did no good in helping with it to move. Any suggestions?

You’re gonna need a bigger hammer.....
Don’t think there’s another fix to that one.
That said, you should try something like PB Blaster or other penetrating oil instead of WD40 first. Let it work for a day.
WD40 is not a lubricant....WD40 stands for water displacement formula #40 if my memory serves.

If brute force is necessary, put wood blocks under the deck so that it is supported firmly while you try and persuade the one wheel to go lower.
