I would spray penetrating oil on the contact points and hit it from behind with a large hammer,first one side then the other.It should pop loose before too long.If you force one side it will wedge itself tighter and tighter,it has to be just about square to be free to move.Ron G

What a beautiful young'un..............don't bother me daddy!!!Ron G

I am pretty sure that grease was used to adjust the tension as the nitrogen pressure tightened the tracks to the maximum and the grease was used to back off to the correct track tension.Ron G

Sometimes you need the seatbelt fastened and weight in the seat too.Ron G
