I just hit em with a good hammer, won't hurt em, until I get the tension I ant. If it is too thick then pick up a few stainless steel flat washers if too thin put a slight bend in the washer using your vice. This is my cure,

Was only using the one D washer on each side - and both were ridiculously too tight. I did the hammer thing, but to no avail. I like your idea of the stainless steel flat washers. Thanks!

Didn't think of that one, skratch. Great observation. Thanks!
