Tightening threaded collar connecting MKV carbon fiber post to D-Box
What the thread found
- A strap wrench works well for tightening and loosening the threaded collar on this connection because of its universal applicability
- Play between the D-Box and post can result from rounded edges on the post connector flats, which can be addressed by adding thin tape shims
- The older MKV model had a directional orientation, and installing it backwards would introduce slight play that could be eliminated by rotating the top or bottom section 180 degrees
Depends on
- The directional requirement applies specifically to older MKV models
- The tape shimming solution addresses one specific cause of play but other causes may exist
