At this point I'd be sorely tempted to take it off and take a look at how difficult it would be to take it apart. You may be able to put a spring compressor on the spring and disassemble it to clean and treat. I think I'd use an oxide treatment like blue or parkerizing on the steel parts or something similar. If you have a place that will yellow zinc plate the steel that would probably last longer. Unfortunately you can't get them cadmium plated. Cad is really quite corrosion resistant.
Try ls4 king they have a kit expensive at 400 bucks for belt and everything but it's theninlynone available right now
