If you remove the assembly you will find that it malfunctions due to the old "lube" or grease solidifying around the moving parts..
So if you flush all the old grease out of it and start working it will to help free it up.
You have to get all the old grease out. Soak it in solvent blast it out with air pressure. soak it some more. Until it is clean of all old grease. Then use a light lube it will function like new.
I would be very surprised if you find that you need to replace the assembly.

That's valuable information (even though I hope I don't have to use it). Many thanks, Blue!
