Amazing 5/6 ports stuck!

I know theres a billion threads on this, but I havent heard of this particular problem before.

I've discovered I have one port stuck open. And the other is stuck closed. I get the best of both worlds, right? . . . . ah, crud. I'm wondering if there is an easier way of fixing these then dissasembling the whole LIM, because this is my daily driver and I drive practically for a living, thus I am reluctant to pull it apart as I've heard it is hard to work on if you have not done it before, and that it is very time consuming.

try some penetrating oil on the parts that you can see. for the one stuck open, you can wiggle it closed. my buddy was able to get his semi-moving like that. the closed one will be harder to move around since you have to wiggle it open first.

lots of penetrating oil and hopefully its not too much crud build up on the sleeves themselves because you can't do much about that without pulling them out.
