In a message dated 98-11-02 21:31:22 EST, you write: << Is it possible to install drop-action grommets without removing lost-motion adjustment nuts? I could slice the grommets, but I'm not sure they would stay on. The adjustment nuts are captive nuts, not really that bad, just a thought. -- Frank Cahill >> I never thought about slicing the grommets, but I think that would not work, since the grommets do get a lot of use, and they might open up, especially during warm weather. I would recommend you remove the nut. I have found that a the tip of your tuning hammer fits on the nut. Schaff makes a tuning tip that can be attached to a ratchet. Hardware stores sell a quarter inch adapter that will accept the tuning tip, and can be used with power a screwdriver. This will make the job a lot easier. Willem Blees
