-    * Hold the sleeve with one hand and turn the threaded bushing on the end clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the tension. \\ (you'll have to turn the lock screw on the end periodically to keep it loose)  +    * Basically this sets the point at which tension begins in relation to the handle sleeve.

 +  - **Once done, install the nut on the end**.
 +    *  Be careful not to allow the end nut to turn the bushing in the sleeve while tightening. \\ That would change wrench calibration.
 +  - **Once the wrench is back together, bushing tight, do a final calibration check**.
 +    * Tightening the nut on the end can throw calibration off. It just needs to be tight enough stay put.
