The presser foot release lever on singer machine is not working?

Is there an easy way to fix my pressure release foot on Singer sewing machine 9018. I started to change a foot and I thought the foot Shaft was loose but in trying to tighten it I seem to have upset something. At one point the pressure lever wouldn't go up it seemed to be blocked, and now it will raise but it is not holding the shaft up. I am sure it is something simple that I am not seeing. Hope this makes sense.
thanks

Hello Gill,
First of all try and slacken of the presser foot by the dial on top,
failing thet you may need to raise the presser bar a fraction, if the presser bar was loose top begin with slacken off the pressure completely put the presser foot up with the lever then then slacken off the screw on the bar and adjust the presser bar.
