                  @vtrn_raptor I didn't say torque wrench. Just be patient with the tightening

                        If the snailadjusters move, just put your foot up against the rear wheel, and keep pressure on it while you tighten the axle.

                        Use a wrench on both sides if its the axle spinning..
