I think I learned this great trick from Bill a couple of years ago. Block you trailer tires. Get in the tow vehicle and apply the trailer brakes manually from it's controller and then put vehicle in drive and apply the gas. I couldn't hear from inside the tow vehicle, but I think there is the "clunk" sound and then the coupler releases normally. I too was trying to pry the darn thing up until Bill warned be off of that!
