wanted to get a lil feed back on how you guys handle makin adjustments to your turn buckles an ball caps..i am struggling cause when i try and make fine adjustment i cant just take the turn buckle wrench and make the adjustment cause the ball cups pop off..i am thinking maybe if i figure out the lenghts of the inner or outer length of the turnbuckle with ball cups and just use a caliper .i tried holding the ball cup so it wont pop off and that usually just make the other side pop off and i cant hold both ends and make adjustments, ive tried.by the time i got my fine tuning done i fell like i have popped my ballcups on and off way to many times..i have heard suggestions such as black grease on the threads of turnbuckle before threading on ballcups .ive heard you have to work the ball cups back and forth up and down the length of the threads a few times to make them "workable" in adjusting..all the ballcups are fresh its a frsh kit and i have replaced any ballcup that has ever popped off..thnks for any help..hope no one gets all excited cause this question has been adressed before..
