I have the pan knob locked down as tight as I can, yet the head continues to pan... not as free as if it is unlocked, but so much so that now I can't remove the head for the life of me.

I have tried the following, nothing is successful.

Rubber grip
Pliers to lock down Pan lock as much as humanly possible
PB Blaster under the head

I'm lost ladies and gents and with only one tripod, I am desperate so that I can use my 8x10 tomorrow (w/ Ries head)
