Check that the beam isnt bent.....if it is bent slightly you wont be able to get the arms back on.

that answers most questions....

the torsion leaves may have a burr on them

use a file to smooth them off...

having the leaves inside the beam is half the trouble normally....

also check for a burr on the arm it self...

but its normally the end of the leaves...
