You need to shorten the clutch cable first all the way. Then go under the derby, loosen the lock nut, take your allen and screw the adjuster in until contact and go a little further. Now rotate the allen back and forts to squeeze any fluid out from between the rods. Loosen until it releases and tighten until you feel it contact... come out 3/4 turn. Hold adjuster and lock the nut back down.
