Yeah, that sounds better. I have an 1 1/4 wrench. Not even close.

They should be the same thing. It's the on rig adjustment sleeve.

I may give that a try. Wasnt sure if it would chew the nut up bad.

Not saying that the channel locks are the way to go but you could also wrap a rag around the nut and then grab it with the channel locks.

Sometimes it takes a little effort to get them moving :yup:
I agree channel locks make it easier :yup: If your gonna wheel it I wouldn't worry about a few channel lock marks in the adjuster, the rocks will do worse damage

I had to adjust mine last night and to be honest I forgot if it's reverse threaded. If I remember right, turning jam nut(with sleeve) counter clockwise lengthened the CA and of course clockwise shortened it. If that's not right you'll see it.
From what I remember also, you have to set them up at initial install with the jam somewhat threaded out (as in my pic) if not, you won't be able to adjust since it will already be bottomed out. Hope this makes sense lol
