I know others have said that you do not want to forcefully adjust these things...

If you've hit 'stiff resistance' there is a good chance you might have damaged the solder joints in it.
What regular maintenance have you done?
-fuel filter change
-
valve adjustment
-injection timing adjustment
-timing chain check and/or replacement
The ALDA should be the
last thing you adjust.
