Trouble adjusting the reverse mechanism to change stitch length..LU-563

[hemiyota]

I was attempting to equalize the forward and reverse stitch length, as described in the video by Ewe. Got to the point where you move the block, to either lengthen or shorten the forward stitch, and it wont move. After loosening the screw, when I try to move it, it just moves the reverse lever. Isn't it supposed to pivot on the shaft?

Can you post a link to Uwe's video, and post photos of the block you're trying to move?

Here's the link to the video. Procedure starts at about 10:00. I'll post a pic in a bit...

Here's the part that should move, if I'm understanding the video correctly...

You could put a crescent wrench on the block to gently rotate it
