  • I need to separate these two parts, **the opposite of the GIF below**.
  • While my hunky husband was lifting the chair up, and my brawny brother pushing the frame down, I kept hitting the top of the slide with a screwdriver, to try to loosen the slide. But these parts are still wedged too tightly! We ran out of energy and ideas! ***How can we life hack this please?***

How to easily uncouple this slide and lock, wedged to each other, on office chair? 
I need to separate these two parts, **the opposite of the GIF below**. 

While my hunky husband to pull the chair up, and my brawny brother pulled the frame down, I kept hitting the top of the lock with a screwdriver to loosen it.  But these parts are still coupled too tightly! We ran out of energy and ideas! ***How can we life hack this please?***
