    There is a hole by the front bead. You have to use an Allen wrench. 60-40 to well over 100%. Higher than a one touch can going

    Thank you, Is there a tool for turning the screw that raises or lowers the front of the rib. The screw has notches machined 180 degrees apart which tells me the screw was designed for a tool to turn the screw.

    Thank you Anthony!
    Is it not an allen wrench I need, It is a tool to turns the screw to raise or lower the rib's point of impact
    The screw thread has machined part of the threads180 degrees apart for a flat tool can grip the screw and turn it to raise the rib up or down.
    I wanted to see what the Ljutic designed, but I can make one.....I just didn't want to re-invent the wheel.

    I did call Ljutic and had a great conversation. They didn't design a tool to turn the screw. I will when it gets warmer and OI can work in the garage
