Need help continuing print after filament jam

OK apparently the instructions for tramming the gadget are all wrong and just made the problem worse. The method suggested here says to use a .04 (I initially typed .4 which seemed thick as a brick, actually) feeler gauge. My tools were stolen so I don’t have one, but I ordered one and will use that method instead. I’m still not quite sure how to do it. I’d think you’d use a smooth plate and adjust with the feeler gauge, but do you still need to use the tramming program (which I can’t get to run at the moment for some reason).

  1. Should I use some kind of smooth plate to do the tramming procedure, or just do it on the bed?
  2. If I have to use the tramming g-code, how do I get it to run now?

Thanks.
