In the process, I had to reglue some jack posts to wippens. When I go to screw on teh wippen the jack lifts the hamer butt just fine. when the screw it tighten it is blocked up won't move at all. I checked the others where the bridel strap is not connected and they lift when I push up on the wippen . Why are these two wippens blocking? I didn't change the let off setting at all. Should I adjust let off on these notes?
