Certainly fixable I'd say. Sounds like it probably has bushes rather than roller bearings, but it's hard to say. As far as a procedure for actually pulling it apart, I'd say it's a case of following ones nose. I've never seen this mount before but if you can somehow find out the manufacturer name & a model # it would certainly assist you in tracking down any info. (if any) on it etc.
In the trade we use heat to unseize things. If you are not the DIY kind, I'd suggest taking it to a friend in the know, or a quick visit to an engineering/welding shop should have it apart in no time.
G'luck.
