When I took my backing plate off, the washer came off without me seeing it and being new to the pc I did not miss it when I replaced the backing plate causing the backing plate to rub the counterweight when I placed the pad on any surface which caused it to lock up. Again thanks to everyone for their help.....I did learn one good lesson today
