Question
I have a dinning room table that has to leaves.  I can not get my table open to remove the leaves.  Is there a way to lubricate the table, so that the table will slide to open?  
Thank you

Answer
I would recommend having a professional look at it.

It could be something causing it to jam up like that. Sometimes its wood expansion, or could be that the runners are having an issue. Maybe needs more greasing, or could be missing ball bearings if its using that type of runner. Tough to say without seeing it.
