WD-40 is petroleum-based. I don’t think you’re supposed to use petroleum-based lubricants on plumbing. I don’t know why, but have read that it can make problems worse. Maybe not immediately, but in the long-term.
You should use something like plumber’s grease to lubricate the faucet.
(But soaking the parts in white vinegar is good!)
