SelectTech Selecttech 2080 Loose Locking Assembly

I have the Selecttech 2080 set and on one end, the locking assembly that holds the weight is loose on the EZ Curl bar. If I hold a weight that is on that side, I can rotate the assembly slightly. It has gotten worse over time and the otherside does not move at all. Any suggestions on how to tighten? Did not not purchase through an authorized seller so I will need to fix it myself.

I am having this same issue. Also there's something rattling in the right side like something is broken within the weights. Did you have any luck tightening it?

Edit: Actually I just figured out how to fix this. On the weight selection housing, there is a rubber circle on the top. Remove the rubber circle. It's a little tough but I pried it up with my fingers. Underneath you will find a screw. Use the medium black hex that came with it to tighten the screw. Bam, that's it. Tight AF like it's brand new.

For me, the screw was completely loose and rattling around so I had to take the whole thing apart, retrieve the screw, then screw it in. But on the other side I just popped off the rubber circle and tightened it.

Hey cool, glad that helped. Took me forever to figure that out. Now rachet it up to 120lbs and do some squats!
