desert eagle blow back mech help

[ColdFire047]

Hey guys just got a desert eagle at a fair price but it wasnt used in a few years.
The loading nozzle in it dosnt snap back when the slide is racked, if it moves at all its really sluggish to do so. Ive checked inside and from what i can tell it just needs a good clean, the spring is still attached and it is under tension.
I managed to figure out how to separate the 2 halves of the slide on my own (go me!) but i dunno how to get to the blow back unit/loading nozzel out of the back half.
Any Ideas?

thanks guys!

Drop some silicone oil in into the blow back unit onto the rubber piston head, should sort it out

tried that already, didnt help, the gun was full of grimy silicone when i got it so im guessing in there is gonna be filthy, i wanna do a full service on it before i use it, ive never had an eagle to work on before.
