If it won't snap in, it's either too loose (unlikely in your case) or too tight. I would just adjust it and then run it and readjust as it polishes up.
You might find some points in there that need lubrication, but I wouldn't oil anything that's not supposed to be oiled like is sometimes done with the steering clutches that are stuck.

When I got my D2, everything was stuck. After I got my clutch linkages unstuck and adjustable. I backed off the main clutch adjustment and worked mine adjusting it as it cleaned itself up. I think (?) you can do a kerosene flush but if you have run it to scuff up the rust then I don't recommend it. I don't remember if I flushed mine but I don't think so?
