Have you tried realigning the gears and replaceing the small plastic gear, that usualy causes the thing from ejecting correctly.

The grease on the top of the floppy Drive solidified and wouldn't allow me to insert or eject disc

Update: it works beautifully, goodbye disk swapping!!!!!!

Yes i removed the plastic thingy. i had to get the top tray out without damageing the head. I actually just got the thing un-stuck so i will update you soon on that. But yes the part you point out was working

Ill plan on useing white lithum then thank you.
