Jonhson 40 vro year 1989 Trim

Hi
My Jonhson 40 vro year 1989 2 sylinder (J40 TL CEC) outboard motor´s trim suddenly does not work.
So, I need to tilt motor down by loosing the manual release screw.
I checked electric components and they seems to work ok.
To check or repair trim motor system, I have to lift motor up. But it seems, that is someway stuck and I can´t by hand lift motor up by that manual release screw.
So help me. Is it so, that by manual release screw works only to tilt motor down or does it work both directions (loose trim manually up and down)?
What I can do to get motor tilted up?
 
Obviously, without the tilt/trim working the motor is quite heavy. With the manual release screw loosened, you are doing just that - MANUALLY raising the motor. I can't think of anything else that would prevent the motor from raising up. Have you checked to see if you're getting voltage to the motor? As always, green is down and blue is up. Blue sky, green grass! Also, the T/T motor either has an actual ground wire or it's grounded by the mounting bolts. If there's a ground wire, i'd check that to make sure it's not loose or corroded.
