NOTE: If adjustment is needed there will be ten-
sion on the linkage, and the resulting friction will
create resistance when sliding the ferrule out.
12.5. If there is a slight resistance when you pull the
ferrule out, thread the ferrule up or down the rod
so that the post fits into the hole without interfer-
ence from the bracket.
