i forgot about that pickle fork thing, i used one before to good effect, im pretty sure my brother has one too, as for the hammer idea theres simply no room to sing the buggers for enough ooomph!. i checked the play in the new box and it does have a bit but i figure as the adjusting screw looks to have a lot of adjustment left in it i can just screw that down and thatll fix it. is that a bad assumption or do you think it should make it good again?
i know youre gonna say tighten the screw and see before you take it off, but its too late for that, im just hoping that when i started pulling it apart i didnt loose anything, and nobody else has decided to have a play with it!
