No eccentrically is pushing it off center of the post. Don't do that, it makes the hydraulic cylinder stick and not want to contract. Push the post exactly in the center (centrally or concentric to the hydraulic post) to give the assembly the best chance at retracting.

You have to push it down with sufficient force to overcome the stiction of the hydraulic post (especially if it hasn't been used in a while). Also eccentrically loading the post will also make it not want to move.
