That sounds about right, but if you want to be sure, then download the manual:

G'day people
While on the subject. I'm off to get a 10mm extended socket to do mine and just need to know what style I should get.
Is a 3/8" drive socket long enough or do I need a 1/2" drive?
And would a 6 sided work or do I need a 12 sided one?

I used a 3/8 drive, the 1/2" drive will be too big, get a single hex the 6 side as will less likely to round off the lock nut.

I thought you needed to use a special tool or at least a modified one. please explain :D
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Thanks for all of the info folks.
I'm thinking of improving the special tool by welding a nut on top so I can use a ring spanner to tighten it while still holding the screw driver on the adjuster.
Clever hay?
