adjusting kws for winter

CWysong · 11-06-2013, 06:35 PM

Got kw in spring, living in Ohio I need to adjust up a bit for snow clearance.

Do you need spring compressors to do this? I just attempts to change the rears and when I turned the nut thing, the whole mount turned. Seems to me there is still too much spring pressure to turn just the one piece.

Any advice or tricks to make this easier, quicker? Thanks!

i wedge a flathead screwdriver or prybar between the collar and the perch to keep tension.

There is a thread about this. I'll save you the time they use a c clamp I believe it is 3" to hold the mount
