Put some break free or kroil or other penetrant in a couple of the holes and try to work it back and forth. If it doesn't do any good. wait overnight and try again. If it still doesn't work reapply the lube and wrap the knurled portion of the brake with a leather belt to keep from boogering it up and grab it with some channel lock pliers. Try and rock it back and forth and it should free up.
I always close mine after shooting and put a couple of drops of break free in some of the holes, then I open and close it a few times and wipe off the excess before storage. If you always do this it wont lock up again.
Good luck BHJ
