P.S: Newbie here (learned and used a torque wrench for the first time today )



I ended up having to remove the actuator and taking a pair of locking pliers to forcefully move the notch. Not sure if I risked damaging the actuator but everything seems to be working now. I was prepared to purchase a new actuator but decided to try this first.
