Balisong experience needed

[ghostface18]

A few minutes ago i stumbled upon my old balisong. I love it with all my heart but sadly I broke it a year ago and i couldnt find a new one. Here is the problem: my balisong was too loose so i tried tightning the pivot pins
(http://www.answers.com/topic/balisong-knife scroll down and you'll see a diagram of pivot pins). Well I tightnened them too much and now I can barely open my butterfly knife without using my hands. How can i loosen the pivot pins so I can use my balisong the way it should be used? I dont really know much knife jargon so i would appreciate if you kept your answer fairly simple, thanks in advance!

Wrap a flat blade screwddriver with a thin cloth and stick it in to the channels where the knife rests when its closed. Twist it to contact the inside channels up near the blade where the pins connect it to the handles(channels). Just put enough twisting force to open those channels up a little.
