WARNING
The fork spring applies pressure to the ad-
juster assembly and can eject the special
tool with substantial force if the tool is not
properly and securely placed. Be sure the
tool is fully in place as shown in the photo,
and keep fingers away to avoid getting them
pinched between the tool, adjuster assembly
and axle holder.
