After few days in the Drive Blue Streak wheelchair, I finally lubricated the foot rest pivots:

The complex molded rests gripped their metal tubes so tightly as be nearly immovable, but one drop of Kroil at the four obvious spots let them turn much more easily.
The flange overlapping the upright tube along the bottom of the picture hits the short protrusion and holds the rest parallel to the floor. A screw at the plastic cap near the top keeps the rests from working their way too far from the upright tube.
I can make it to the Basement Shop™ and back, paying careful attention to detail.
