edit/
reading seems to suggest it could be stuck from carbon build up on either side so maybe best place to start would be just remove the PV covers and clean everything out best I can from there or should I just remove everything?
Have you removed the actuator rod to see if the PV flapper moves freely? It won't move unless you unhook it. If you rotate the flapper without unhooking the linkage, there is a very likely chance that you will dislodge the actuator balls and have big problems.
