Cargo Rack Problem

Reposting here hoping for some help.
Our Cougar is equipped with the Lippert Cargo/Bike Rack P/N 126890. They call it a "Sliding Bike Rack". I wanted to cut this pretty much worthless thing off and have a standard 2" receiver welded on in it's place, mostly to carry our two bikes. DW wanted to keep the rack so I put together a rig so we could attach our Thule bike rack to the cargo carrier. It worked well on our trip to Grand Canyon so I guess we'll keep the carrier. Here's the problem. The rack is super hard to slide in and out. Always was, even before the mod. It's a wiggle jiggle huff and puff dance that I'm hoping someone out there has found a solution for.
Any ideas would be most appreciated!
Thanks

I think the little voices in my head have started a chat group.

A dry lube that doesn't attracted dirt and dust will help. Of course, I've always been a fan of spray on white lithium grease for making things move easier.
