The problem is, it needs to be tight, to laminate. Unfortunately, you might have to open it up to clear, once open, remove a gear from the end of the shaft or motor. you should then be able to wind it back, IT will still be difficult. Other option, NOT recommended, is to cut it off. You could maybe cut a couple of layers, to free it up quicker, BUT not recommended, catch the roller, jam all the more.
