   I would suggest contacting these people and go from there. They'll have a complete blueprint, schematic [if applicable] for your exact model and version and also a help line. [www.ereplacementparts.com,.]

   Mistakes are in the simple things. Remember, you're dealing with a 2nd hand machine. Loosen up the specs the manual provided. Meaning, it sounds like you're trying to fine tune old parts. The machine has some wear & tear on it. Use the manual for guidelines but allow for some give.
   Hope this helped. Yeah, right.

   "Mistakes are in the simple things." Ya mean "Oops" is not our favorite word? Good advice. The site I suggested has blueprints on almost anything mechanical, and/or electrical you can think of that's sold to the public retail. [I mean, everything from DeWalt Bench Grinders to Weber Charcoal & gas Grills is pretty broad.] Sometimes it just takes a simple visualization of the device's construction, to solve the problem. (Besides, these people must have a list of what parts have been repeatedly ordered for the device's same problem.)

   I can't speak for that specific item but I 'serviced' my old deWalt planer-thicknesser which has a similar mechanism. It too 'seized' so I cleaned all the parts and oiled them. No luck.
   In the end it was down to over tightening the nut that adjusted the clearance for the crown wheel cog that engaged with the chain drive... Too enthusiastic with my repairs. I found that too much slack and the drive rattled and felt loose, but enough to get rid of it entirely and it was impossible to move the wheel. I had to settle for a 'goldilocks' level of not so much rattle that it irritated too much, but enough that the machine would work.
   If I could get just the right thickness of washer to shim it, I could probably have silent operation, but I can't face more dismantling.
