Axis FR Trem bar question

This is a new one for me - changed strings on my Axis BFR Nitro with Floyd Rose, after restringing, the bar is now very tight (stays in one spot/doesn't swivel). I've got several guitars with FR, and can adjust them fine, but the EBMM is different. I've searched around, and found the small Allen screw on the bottom, but it doesn't make a difference when I screw in or out. Any help/advice appreciated. Thanks
 
Did you have the arm in or out when you restrung the guitar? That is kind of odd that it would be very tight after a restringing.

Anyway, there is another allen screw on the rear of the trem block that adjusts the arm tension.

Oddly enough, I put the tree in to push down during one string to not scratch the body with the Allen wrench. I don't see another screw on the back. I have on my me Luke and JP15, but don't see one on this.
