<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 202370, member: 37"]The two screws are just to attach the metal assemblage to the frame. The thumb screws should tighten the plate against the shaft enough to keep it from swiveling. If it does not, there is enough wear inside the frame to keep it from providing enough friction. I would wrap something around the metal shaft to see if that will do the trick. You probably will not have enough room to wrap the entire shaft unless the rubber is very thin but a piece in between the shaft and the locking plate might be enough to do the trick. Be sure that everything is clean and dry. You don't want any of the oil you used to get in around the shaft and locking mechanism.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
