Steve,
I can imagine it'd do a job on a kingpin stabilizer. Torque it off to one side, etc. I almost did something akin to that when raising my landing pads while the rear stabilizers were down! Luckily, I heard the gravel crunch before doing any damage!
I always had to do the same thing when adjusting those old brakes. I was never sure, though, just how loose to leave the shoes when I was done. The manual tells me how far it should rotate after proper adjusting. And if memory serves, (which is highly dubious,) I think I used to leave my old wheels freer than the fiver manual suggested....
Heck. Maybe that'd be a good thing to do as a "workshop" at one of the rallies we have coming up.
I know that it'd help me. That, and going over axle lubrication.
And I think that sort of workshop would be OK with the spouse. As opposed to one on how to open and down a cold beer!
Thanks,
Steve
