The Skylab2 mission was delayed for ten days while the crew trained up on the new procedures required to deploy a heatshield parasol and release the remaining solar panel that had got jammed during launch. The other main solar panel had been torn off with the original heatshield during launch.

Agreed, article here on it including mention of neutral buoyancy training…
