Agreed... I don't use them either... however I will use ONE from here on out on the pinion screw.
I figure this way out after I had it tightened with a button head hex wrench... and the pinion got loose halfway in my Qualifier.
Just saying... with the alen key, it worked quite well for me and it's quite a bit faster than taking the whole motor out and measuring the pinion location on the motor shaft like the manual says.
You can get quite a bit of force on the pinion screw with the key too!
