Alright, so I was putting my Squire VM Jaguar in the case, and went to remove the tremolo bar, it's a drop in, no threads, and I found that it was stuck in the guitar! :? It rotates 360 degrees just fine, and it will move up and down about half a millimeter with a slight pop, after that, it won't come up anymore. I don't wanna apply too much pressure upwards because I don't wanna break the new set of strings. I'm thinking it may of flared out inside there somehow, any ideas to fix this problem? I've had this guitar for 8 months and nothing like this has ever happened.

Yes not esy to pull up , same on my American Deluxe . I have to put a hand on the bridge to save the string ans pull up . Work this way .
There is a ajusting allen screw on the tremolo block for the arm . Look on the back of your guitar and remove the back plate. Not easy to see IMO.

The Jag's tremolo system doesn't have a backplate in my case, but I got it fixed. The tremolo bar arm got stuck in machine markings on the inside of the hole. I put some gun oil in it, pulled it out with a lot of force, and sanded down the arm where it goes a little to take out some markings that were left.
