Here's a really nice disassembly thread with large photos of all of the 1858 parts and a large diagram.
You'll probably need to take it apart to fix it, so maybe you can examine the parts to see if there's anything obviously wrong.

The bolt should hit the cylinder just before the leading edge gets to the notch. If it's hitting before then the bolt legs are probably too short. You may can fix it by making sure both legs are parallel and evenly spaced.
