Has anyone had experience with seized quick release leavers on 105 calipers?

Mine are fairly young calipers still, they are 5800's. However one calliper quick release only partially opens. It means I cant open up the calliper enough to get the wheel off.

I have tried soaking in WD40 and working the mechanism but that hasnt worked. On my ultegra callipers this piece can be dissasmbled, but it doesnt appear the case on 105s.

Any tips?
