Are these levers intended to move freely on the tilt tube(clamp bracket bolt). These mechanisms are not operating correctly. They appear frozen in place on the bracket clamp bolt/tilt tube. Motor will not go down all the way unless I stick my hand under the bracket assembly to release the receiver assembly.

they should move freely,
some are spring loaded in one direction
lever forces things in one direction ,
when yoou move the lever the other way the spring moves things back

The assembly looked pretty rusted and I was not real optimistic . A bunch of sprays with a penetrent and patience did the job. Both levers and functions are now working fine. Thank you for your reply
