Needle Bar Loose on Singer Sewing Machine?

The needle bar on my Singer Stylist 413 has become loose and I can't figure out how to fix it. It doesn't stay in place and I can literally turn the needle back and forth. I had to adjust the needle bar to align the machine marks with the bottom of the casing after I had replaced the vertical gear (which broke into pieces) and reset the hook timing. Ever since, I can't seem to get the needle bar to stay securely in place. Can anyone help? I also can't find a repair manual for my machine. Thank you.

Sometimes repairs are not as simple as just looking at a diagram and you may need a video or someone to walk you through your repair.

Would it be possible to contact the store/company that you purchased your vertical gear from and tell them your problem? They may be able to help.
Singer has a lot of video's on their site and may have one for this problem.
You can email or call them and they may be able to help you.

Perhaps a Singer retail store in your area would be will to help you. I have found that many times they do have a repair person that will help with small problems. Google Singer and your zip for local stores.

If you are in need of a manual for your machine this site has a free downloadable copy.
