If the coupling is the problem, you may find the square-headed screw has<br>
come loose - it should be tightened and wire-locked to stop it loosening<br>
again. There's a dimple in the shaft the screw tightens into.<br>

I'll check there tomorrow afternoon after I get all my stuff out of my car<br>
and I to my new apartment. Impossible to check user the rear seat at the<br>
moment with everything I own in Scone.<br>
Thanks!<br>
