If you're not having much luck manipulating it, you could try decoding it. I'm not familiar with that exact model, but I would think it should work.
Running through the center of each wheel is a rod. Somewhere on the radius of each of these rods is a groove. The goal is to align all these grooves. Some locks have such sloppy tolerances that you can do this visually by just looking along the side of each wheel as you rotate it.
If you're unable to see anything, you could try using a very thin piece of metal as a 'feeler' to detect the groove. Some thin feeler gage works good. Just cut the end to a point (not a really sharp point... leave a very small flat area at the very tip). Slide it down along side each wheel and turn it until you detect the groove. You can either go by feel, or, take a depth measurement on each 'click', and note where the feeler gage drops in farthest.
Once you've aligned all the grooves, try opening. No go? Then rotate all the wheels one click in the same direction and try again. Continue rotating all the wheels in the same direction, one incriment at a time, and try to open each time. If all the grooves were aligned to start with, and you kept them that way as you rotated them.... somewhere within one full revolution the lock should open.
It's a very simple process that I've probably just complicated the shit out of...lol. Search youtube, I'm sure there's a vid out there on it. I beleive Kokomolock's got one.
