yes, relieve the pressure first. I always push the muzzle against my leg, then the take down lever will move down. DO NOT FORCE IT WITH A SCREWDRIVER, OR YOU'LL SNAP IT OFF.

You can also push the receiver back with one hand while you manipulate the take down lever.

I hope you are not trying to take the safety "catch" off? You can, but there is no need. I have seldom taken a luger all the way down, it simply is not required, nor needed in my opinion. Even for a "new" gun, I take it down to its most basic, parts, but ones that only require a take down tool. I know others take every gun completely apart and ultra clean it.
