The retracting mech works by a ball bearing moving in the base of the reel holder,when you brake,the ball rolls forward and jams the reel.
So your balls are stuck....
Check that the reel is mounted correctly,if it's tipped forward or back the ball will not drop free of the reel.
I've never tried dismantling one,but it may be worth a look to see if it would be practical to strip and clean one.
