I went over how to repair jammed up drives in my mac repair seminar at VCFE, and repaired an 800K drive there - don't know if anyone videotaped it or not. I could definitely do it again at the next workshop, if anyone is interested. Can go over 400K and 800K drives.
It boils down to knowing how to take the mechanism apart and remove the metal loading part. Then it's just straightforward dissolving of the old grease with your favorite solvent, and relubricating with something suitable, such as lithium grease or silicone lubricant.
