Jackson Maverick HD (Pull Release)

My B pedal has been sticking sometimes in the past few days. Sometimes the bell crank isn't returning to its stop position. What would usually cause this?

Check that the B pedal cross shaft has a little bit of movement end-to-end (end float)

Also check that the B pedal is not stiff on the pedal bar.

How do I fix a cross shaft with no end float? I also have this problem on my C# lower knee lever (RR). It doesn't like returning to float.

If it's lack of cross shaft end clearance (and not lack of lubrication) that's causing the finger to "hang", you can remove the shaft bracket and slot (or enlarge) the two mounting holes just a little to give some extra clearance.

Fixed, I loosened the screws on the end plates that hold the shafts and there was enough slack to let them ride free again when retightened. Fixed some of the problem I've had with my right leg levers as well.

Thank you,

John
