My guess is that the wood is little swollen from either oil or high humidity or both. Take it to Arizona for a couple of days to let it dry out. Tap the ring down with a light hammer on a wooden dowel. You might try tapping the dowel on the end of the retaining metal piece in case it has slipped back a little, the socket my be a little off where it hinges. I'd also try some graphite on the wood.
