Have you had any luck getting that cup off or looser?
Yep, I got the adjustable cup out just now, and am working on
the fixed. I posted a few more details elsethread.
Check Sheldon's Tool Tips again because he tells you whether to
tighten the inside or the outside of the bolt-nut tool.For what
it's worth I found that it took a lot of presure to tighten the
nut/bolt to the point where it'd unscrew the cup and when it did
it was a very sudden movement of the cup.
Good luck and cheers
Thanks, as I just noted elsethread, I've not been able to get the
assembly tight enough to move the fixed cup.
