Rear Door Stiff

I know this sounds obvious... but it doesn't seem to be...

My rear door is incredibly stiff to open/close. I've greased the hinges and the retainer slide, but it's still tough to open/close.

Anyone else had this issue and what was the culprit? I'd rather not spend an entire afternoon removing/greasing/refitting if it's an obvious oversight on my part!!

work the door back and forth with WD40 on the hinges to see if it loosens

Is it still stiff with the wheel removed? It could be worn or misaligned hinges. Darren

Seized hinge. I tried wd40 etc but until I took it off, ground the clip off, knocked it apart and lubed the hinge it was seized solid when off the car.
