Necroing a thread here, been gone a while.

Turns out I just didn't have the right size key. She tore down all right, though a bit stubborn as gunk built up over the years and fused a lot of parts together. After replacing everything else I have concluded it's something wrong in the regulator. Still has a slow leak and won't cycle.

Edit:

Tore it down again (it all came much, much easier this time thanks to me lubing everything) and was about to tear apart the reg when I noticed the rear screw had a LOT of play. Tightened it down till it felt like it was actually catching something. It almost cycles now, but the barrel sticks and there's a leak between the body and the frame, much like the OP's old issues.
