So I tried cleaning the rod and bending the tab, but nothing worked.

I get the feeing its the surface of the "hole" of the tab that needs to
be cleaned. Does the tab slide off the rod? I am not sure of how to
disassemble this...

Thanks for the replies & info (to all).

I will try cleaning the rod, and if that doesn't work try bending the
tab a bit. I'll let you know.
Also - I've tried it in all orientations (pointing up, etc.) didn't work.

Til later

Make sure the rod (actuator piston connecting rod) is clean. Many
times a little oil is enough to prevent the sliding tab/latch from
biting into the rod. Also, as another poster mentioned, play around
with the orientation of the tab - sometimes it bites in one position
and not another.
