What has worked for me (about 50% of the time) is to open the gun as wide as it will go, and remove the cocking hook screw. This won't work on many guns as the gap is not wide enough to remove the screw without galling it, against the water table.
This will allow you to get the barrels separated, but doesn't address the original problem. The gun will need to come apart to clean and properly lube the unhooking pin, crank, cocking slide, etc.

Sad to hear Dave Wolf passed away. He repaired a stock for me, his work was excellent, and he was great guy to chat with.
