I haven't had one of these apart in awhile,But there should be two brass gears and one steel worm gear. Did you check both gears for wear? Also where the shaft goes through the case. The holes in the case sometimes become egg shaped. I think when cranking down, pressure is one way then at a certain point arm flips to put pressure the opposite way and you get your play. Sometimes the case is stripped so the adjustment screw does not hold, But try it anyway.
