At the time of or during the progress of the execution sale, or prior thereto on the request of the judgment creditor, the officer may release such property, or so much thereof as has not been actually sold, from such levy, before full satisfaction of the judgment; and the judgment, or such part thereof as has not been actually satisfied by a payment or sale, and the lien thereof, shall not be affected by such levy and release, but shall remain in force as if no levy had been made.
