Similar experience.
1. Be sure truck and trailer are in straight line.
2. Chock and back in to the trailer, holding some pressure on the hitch with brakes while pulling the lever.
I've never had to pull the pins and get loose that way but a good option.
Every year or so I pull the pins and lube the mechanism, using a pair of pliers to hit the release trigger and work the lube in. Spray lithium grease from NAPA.
