Half way through my current warp the ratchet and pawl on the warp beam is refusing to release unless I go to the back of the loom and jiggle the beam to get it to release. Once released it turns smoothly so I’m pretty sure it’s the ratchet and pawl that are the problem. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Oh boy, I disengaged the ratchet and pawl while weaving and that did the trick. Not sure what I was thinking.
