1 of 7: There are no controls around, so try getting into the elevator.
2 of 7: Crouch-walk forward and drop down into it.
3 of 7: Now examine the back wall where the two large gears are.
4 of 7: You see what's jamming the gears?
5 of 7: It's a crowbar. You could certainly use one of those!
6 of 7: Grab onto it with the gravity gun's Secondary Fire mode, then wiggle it around to free it.
7 of 7: The elevator will fall with you in it, but you won't be damaged. And you now have a new crowbar to play with!
