Default Stuck Needlebar

Hi, to all of you SM mechanics.

Can someone give me a hint/help to free up a stuck needle bar.
I have it soaking in oil and tri-flow. Have tapped lightly on the top and bottom, that is up and down. It is still very stuck.
The rest of the machine is freeing up well. It all turns just a bit with just the play.
The needle bar was also stuck but a couple of taps freed it up.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Ethel
