I have this mint looking 55F2 Super Takumar lens with two problems

(1) Auto manual switch is stuck on auto
(2) Aperture control is very stiff

Since this is a screw-mount lens, when attempting to change the aperture, the lens unscrews from the camera body.
Does this sound like an easy fix or should I junk the lens? Its a shame because its in beautiful condition.
