To tighten the cable in the plunger protrusion adjusting nut assembly for the TuffStuff AXT-5S:
1. Ensure the cable assembly is not bent or damaged. 2. Use two 3/4" wrenches to loosen the plunger protrusion adjusting nuts. 3. Push the plunger and cable further into the barrel or pull it out as needed to adjust the protrusion. 4. Once the adjustment is correct, re-tighten the plunger protrusion adjusting nuts.
