Repairing a Makita DSP600 Plunge Saw that is stiff and sticking.

Plunge saws can, over time, become stiff and not plunge or retract the blade correctly.
This can result in a dangerous situation if the blade does not fully retract again.
Normally, they can become stiff from general wear and tear, but if the locking bolt comes loose, this will cause more wear and lead to it stiffening uo faster.
This js a risky repair, as the pin will be stiff, and if the bolt had gouged the pin, it will be even more difficult to remove.
One mistake and the aluminium house can snap.
Luckily, this one came out easily. If not, the motor will need to be stipped down and heat applied to the aluminium.
