Look under your bench and you may find a cotter pin that fell out. On my eclipse, the other end of the rod goes through a plate that holds the two parallel guide rods. The central, threaded rod has a small through bore. A cotter pin goes through that hole and is what puts pressure on the plate to open the vise.
