I don't know much about the longevity of ball cups, but naive thinking says that they are wearing out much faster if you follow the video procedures each and every month.

Just curious,

My method:
Leave the wheel off on the side where you do the adjustments and use a hex driver through the diff outdrive to hold that side stationary. Just put the wheel on again when you're ready to adjust the slipper.
