How to rework a kitchen faucet so it moves again?

The base is stuck---probably from lime buildup, but I'm a little scared to take everything apart.
Thank you, Beverly

Vinegar will dissolve the lime build up. Soak it well with white vinegar or wrap a rag around where it is stuck that is soaked in white vinegar. Good luck Beverly
