5th wheel hitch problem... Will not release

Never thought about the brake. Makes sense...
So I go out to the truck and standing above the hitch yelling at it that I am much bigger and I will not be beaten. Grab my rubber mallet and silicone spray. Spray, tap-tap several times... Took about 15 minutes and it finally released. Sprayed and sprayed, moving the handle back and forth. But it needed to be "forced". The slide portion that the handle moves was just bound up. And to think I have sprayed that recently.
Now adding silicone spray to my travel list...
Thanks for the tips.
