I know what you mean by killing your thumb and forefinger, nasty little buggers after awhile, aren't they.

One thing you can try is to find a really small crescent wrench (adjustable wrench) and put a layer of black electrical tape on the inside surface of the wrench. This keeps it from doing too much damage to the nylon clevis..DO NOT DAMAGE THE LITTLE TAB THAT GOES IN THE HOLE. That would be bad. Try using the wrench but do not force it too much. Those clevises can damage very easy and then you have to work with them even more to get them on and off. It is very important that you take your time with the adjustments of the controls. Be sure there is no binding and that they are straight and operate freely.

P.S., hey BRW, it's good to see you are still around, always good to see you giving advice....
