The takedown lever (or locking bolt as some call it) is held in the horizontal position by the force of the slide being pushed forward by the recoil or mainspring.

if you can hold the Luger in your hand and press the muzzle against a hard surface (like a carpeted floor to prevent scratching) and push you should be able to make the slide move to the rear about a half inch if you have no siezed parts... the takedown lever can then be moved 90 degrees clockwise to allow the upper assembly to be slid off the frame after the sideplate is removed...

I hope this helped...
