Think the would be good place for "never seize" compounds...My Branson 4720 does the same... I just spray the hell out of it, raise the bucket up to a comfortable height and then take a large punch and a hammer, and (not so) gently tap the bottom of the pin and (try to) move the release lever until it frees up. PITA. I've taken it apart and cleaned and sanded the pin and the hole several times along with spraying lube on it. If I don't move it enough in a while it seizes up again. Wash, rinse, repeat...
