Handy Lockup Bar is Stuck

A Vandercook Handy Lockup Bar is stuck in a Vandercook 4. While I do not know exactly when or how this happened, it’s clear that the slant of the bar is part of the problem. Any ideas on how to remove it?

Gently tap the lower corner of the bar (the side closest to the center of your picture) with a hammer. Place a piece of furniture against the lower part of the bar and use a hammer with light hits. Hit the bar towards the rollers. Bar should pop out into the correct position. If it dosent come loose with light hits, hit it a little harder - you’re not going to break anything.

Yay! It worked! Thanks
