I used the butane torch, heated the shaft and freed the switch up and was able to work it but as it cooled it stiffened back up. I repeated the process a few times with the same results. Now I am waiting overnight to see if the oil helps.
Is it possible that I didn't heat it long enough?

Oh yeah that HF torch is pretty good. Thanks.
