Sharpie Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have had the car 5+ years and never needed to adjust them but, now I do. I tried to stick a pin in the holes and adjust them that way but, it was not moving. I did have to use a 2mm flat bladed screwdriver to clean out all the polish inside the outer ring of them. Should I be adjusting them another way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveWilko Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Try licking the little balls. The heat of your tongue plus the lubricating effect of your saliva frees them up nicely Actually mine are stuck solid too. Tried WD40. Any serious tips would be welcome before I get punched by a cyclist for squirting washer fluid in their face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I might be wrong but when I looked at mine a few months ago they appeared to be fixed and not adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 OK, I used a needle rather than a pin and with a little effort, I was able to move them. It bent the needle mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazz72 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Use a bigger needle then. I used a massive needle they were stiff, but came loose quite easily.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
