I would recommend coping all 25 maintenance procedures to your computer and to a CD for future use.
It sounds as if you will need to replace the wedges and rod as it sounds like someone over tighten the headstock lock.

Wait!
Don't order the lock until you've examined at the present one. Your symptoms mirrored mine. Follow the procedure for replacing the lock and you may find it's simply not adjusted correctly, as I did. In which case, it's an extremely simple fix.
