I did my final adjust in the car with a feeler gauge against the through out brearing face set against the highest finger and adjusting the other to match even to bearing within 1/1000 of a inch
Scott, thank you for your question. When new, there really aren't any true pins. The special nut is staked creating the staked tabs/pins shown in the video. I did run into the situation you are asking about, where the new adjustment lines up where the stake was removed from the nut. I was able to make slight adjustments and then re-stake the nuts. However, if you cannot, there is are wicking Loctite products you can use; Loctite 220 Blue or 290 Green. I think if I had to do it over, I would add the wicking Loctite. I hope that answers your question.
Nice vid Ryan - I did my clutch a couple of months ago - it was kinda fiddly but was happy with the result. I tried to see if you could buy those special nuts but they don't seem to be available so locking the nuts after adjustment is tricky - hope the extra locktite does the job!
Thank you for the comment. I have heard the original nuts are not available. I was able to re-stake mine, but would recommend the extra Loctite for the future. I am glad you had good results with your project.
Nice video. Ryan, I would like to have seen a close up of the actual staking procedure on the nuts. I assume you use a small punch and light hammer, but am I pushing nut material into the screw threads or screw material down onto the nuts. Where do I place the punch??
Thanks for the info Greetings from Vancouver.

Good stuff. I'll be doing this next week.
I am sure it will turn out great. Let me know if you have any questions.

The nuts are not staked. There are two nuts on the adjusting screw. You use them nuts against each other as a double nut to lock it down.
Good info! Thank you Sir! I am at this stage now!
