do you mean the fulcrum clip? That would be one of the last resort measures since it worked with the current position previously.
Finally got around to some more inspection. A needle goes in the barrel nut about halfway, but the threading appears to only be on the first 1/3 of it?
I managed to "fix" my unscrewing tension problem, by turning the cable counter-clockwise before connecting the indicator and barrel nut. Even so, it won't go any further than about 1/3 of the barrel nut.
The most frustrating/weird thing is, it worked (mostly) before I removed the wheel, so it's like I am missing something obvious or somehow managed to mess up the mechanism
