Twice, I've had to get my hand in there and with liberal doses of WD40, manually start working the lock to free it up. Both times it was in such a bind, I didn't think I would get it, but it will free up, keep after it. I suppose you could take it out and do the same thing, but it looks like a real PITA to get it out.
