What is the best way to free up frozen landing gear legs? They were wet from road spray, then temperature got down in the single digits overnight and froze. What to do ?

Shoot the seams with alcohol or windex. if there is ice in there it could melt it and lube the metal enough to slide. honestly cant say i ever had this issue, but have done it with the slide rail.

Spray bottle filled with diesel fuel. Works for the fifth wheel during cold weather months, too.

Thanks for the replies. I had the same problem and about ripped my guts out getting it to lower. Was finally able to get it down. It was negative 5 this morning where I was dropping my trailer.
