Singer 5532 32-Stitch Heavy Duty Sewing Machine Questions & Answers
Singer 5532 needle hitting plate how do I fix this
Welcome to sewing. First guess is the needle is loose or got bent. Remove the needle and roll it on a flat surface to look for bends. Although, it would need quite a bend to hit. Jeans require a 110 or larger needle. If the motor strains when crossing the heavy folded areas turn the wheel by hand - you will then know why the motor was straining. Also, sometimes multiple layers require using a seam ripper tool to unsew and then cut out excess layers. It all takes time and patients. Keep at it it's worth it. Consider downloading the manual and carefully review to make sure the machine is threaded right - common beginner mistake.

DON'T cut lumps out of your machine. There will be a sequence you use to remove the parts you need to access to the gears more easily. The Youtuber you referred to sounds like they have zero knowledge when it comes to these older style machines.
'Note' Some of the gear mount nuts are on a "Reverse" thread meaning you turn them the 'wrong' way to get them off.
My limited knowledge is more on the much older hand crank and treadle machines.
Try the Youtube link below for a channel called 'Andy Tube'. He has a good reputation for correct repair methods. The link is for a 758 but they're both Touch and Sew machines.
You could also try the Facebook group 'Vintage Singer Sewing Machines' as they have loads of knowledge about loads of different machines.
