Thanks. It just took a lot of effort to get those screws out but I'm back in business now.

It's wedged in there pretty tight. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

I've recently installed a SewQuiet 5000 onto my Juki 1508N and was about to test out the new v-belt I installed for it and the machine "locked up". Initially I thought it was the Safety Clutch, but it doesn't appear to be engaged. I removed the plates and even the presser foot cover and saw that the basket was rotating with the hook. Here is a video of the problem that shows it in detail: What could cause something like this to happen and how can I fix it?
