Zumo stuck in bike cradle

Wicker said:

I have found that the holding pin on the throttle side of the Zumo is a bit tight particularly if you have nipped up the security screw tightly. I have lightly lubricated the pins & hinge with a squirt of ACF50 although WD40 or a spot of 3inOne oil will probably do the same job. A bit of regluar use does free things up.

If you totally unscrew & remove the security screw, gentle finger pressure under the throttle side flip down clamp usually releases it. I also replaced the Garmin security screw with the lockscrew version sold on this website which you can undo with your fingers.

Can anyone offer any sort of swift usefull help? I have just used my Zumo 550 for the first time and upon returning home cannot for the life of me get the fecker out of the cradle!
I have tried to gently ease the top clamping pins out of the sockets in the back of the Zumo unit but the one side in particular dont want to know.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
