Default Problem with rear take down pin

Hi Guys!

I'm trying to take apart my 15-22 to clean and I'm having massive trouble with my rear take down pin. I took it down once tonight and it worked. I then lubed it a little with CLP because it felt a little stiff. I then put it back together and tried to take it down once again, and it absolutely will not work!!! I tried to push on one side and pull it out on the other and won't come out. I don't know what the heck I did wrong. Please help! Thanks.

Hahaa. You're right. It didn't need any lube and I'm embarrassed to tell you this but.........................I put it in the wrong way!!! I know, I know...newbie mistake (I am a newbie though so.....), but it fit like a glove and I didn't pay closer attention like I probably should have. I played with it for like 45 minutes before I realized what I'd done. Took the grip off and the detents and springs came out and the pin came out easy, breezy. SMH!!
