but try wiggle shaking and banging the crap out of it to jar it loose first. blow a heat gun/hairdryer on it if its cold etc. you only need it to disengage one last time. Some folks have luck tapping it with a little hard object like a SMALL hammer or screwdriver. My understanding (from reading these threads) is that over-lube inside causes failure of some plastic bits and the little gear teeth fail then get hung up. tap tap taparoo might get it one last time, then once its unlocked you can pull the fuse (and save a couple hundred bucks and a wasted day or two)

good luck.
