I can put the key in and it turns to about 1 degree away from where the button should pop out but it stops. I sprayed some PB blaster, and other than making it turn really easily in the zone it could already move in, it didn't help that last little bit to make it open.
I tried slightly pressing on the lid right at the lock but it doesn't help. It's been sitting for 30 years and hasn't been opened in that amount of time. I've owned it since '84 so I know its history. Is there some way to use an o-ring pick or such to get at the mechanism to free it? |

The bitch to this job is you have to look through the hole to line up the socket on the bolts. They are not big bolts, and they are not really torqued tight. But it is hard to get the socket on the. So plan on all day to do it.
