Try a mix of grease and way lube on open gears, painted on with a brush. Works better than anything I've bought for the job.
I recently had to remove a pulley from a largish shaft, rusted. Soaked a rag in washing soda juice, wrapped it around the shaft and up against the pulley, held it in place with some wire solder, then hit it with a battery charger and a half hour later it was loose enough to just slide right off.
