Default Tailgate step stuck

Is there a way to remove the tailgate step out of the tailgate when it won't extend? Mine is stuck in, and I would like to get it out and try to clean and lube it.

On my 13 If I remove the back cover I can see inside, is your model not the same?

I can see inside, but there are 4 bolts that are only accessible when the step is extended, also a couple of nuts, if I remember.

Sometimes mine is stubborn, but if I apply hard pressure to release the footstep, it slides out.
