Yes, there's not much adjustment and yes, It's a PIG pulling against the emergency brake springs to get the pin back in. I have spent quite a while looking at the clevis thinking "naw, no way Dearborn could design something you had to adjust before you attached it . . . "

Onward and upward!

yes, my thoughts exactly, but i have to think that i'm missing, as in misunderstanding, something...

frankly, i was expecting to see a true turnbuckle down there. you know, the kind with reverse threads on one end so that turning it one way pulls the two ends together and turning it the other way pushes them apart.
