> Dislodge the spring arms in the rep lever and jack.

> Straighten out (reestablish proper curve) to the bent, 'maladjusted' wires

>
> Remove encrusted lubricant from rep lever grub.

> Clean and polish spring end at rep lever contact with Dremel Tool.
>
> Place lubricant, usually DAG, in rep grub AND jack spring hole. You'll

>
> Expand the spring at the coil and install spring ends to their slots.
> Reconfigure the bend at jack if needed. Sometimes it entails trimming
> the jack spring arm which can bind at the far end of the jack mounting.
>
> Adjust tension if too strong.
>
> Burnish rep lever at knuckle contact.
