So where can I get a tool that allows me to loosen/tighten the trunks and etc?

The tool you are looking for is called a skate key. You can pick one up online or at your local rink or skate shop. Possibly even a department store. In any case, if you have a basic tool kit that includes wrenches & sockets you won't need one. Also, if you skate at a rink they will generally adjust them for you for free.

You may try the local rollerskating rinks in your area if they don't have the tool they could tell you were to buy one or what it's called so you can search for it

there is a knob to turn to loosen and tighten - it is adjustable (took a few tries to figure it out).

I did not use any of the tools provided. Use your own ratchet and hex driver to tighten (even better if you have a powered drill adapter).

Brand new, I checked mine and it was way too loose. Always check it, don't count on the "factory adjust". I know I would lose the little calibration tools, so this is what I did: I wrapped it in tape, pulled off one of the handle rubber covers, wedged it in the hollow space, and shoved the cover back on. It would be great if the tool had a built-in storage for this, but hey it is a good price for a cinch tool.

Yes, there is a specialty tool that jeep recommends, but if you are a bit crafty, regular pullers will work. That's how I got mine out.

There nuts under some caps where it hinges. Tighten those , you should be able to tighten it to the point where it is hard to move.

I think you can check Amazon you might be able to find one. I am looking for one myself. I agree with you the tool is not that great.

Park tool BBT-9 will work or an integrated shimano GXP open ended bottom bracket wrench (Pedro's or Shimano or Bike Nashbar). I like the BBT-9 since it grabs all the way around the bracket but the others will work as well, but you have to take off the crank, the integrated wrench allows you to re-tighten without pulling the crank. Make sure you grease the threads for easy installation, Phil's waterproof synthetic or Finish Line teflon will do.

Loosen and off it comes. Or loosen and move to different position and tighten

I have a very narrow wrench made for the job. You should be able to find one for sale at any bike store or online

As I recall, there are no tools needed. There might be an adjustment with a hex wrench and I believe I needed a second person to simultaneously clamp down on the opposite side. The challenge was in spacing the clamps the proper distance apart as I have a small SUV. You should follow the directions for placement.

I have never had much luck with the "tools" supplied by any manufacturer of any product. I always expect to use real tools and this product was no exception. I had no trouble tightening the nuts and bolts with a 6mm allen wrench and an adjustable crescent wrench. I might have used a socket set as well, it's been a while since assembly.

Yes, use included wrenches to loosen clamps. Remember or mark location to re-install.

Amazon parts can be helpful also, regarding "if part fits your car too" just add your vehicle's in your garage. the trunk lid pull down, is less than parts stores.

Just the allen wrench technically, but having an adjustable wrench would make assembly a bit easier, and you'd need the latter during some adjustment/tune-up routines later.

you can use drill bits to determin a close size, it doesn't have to be exact as the ribbed shaft will compensate and give you some wiggle room. If I remember I think these ship from over seas and it takes a week or so to get them so don't take your car apart before you get them, I cannot believe they make money on these when shipping acrossed the globe! I'm a buy american guy but when they sell the same ones in the auto parts store you pay a couple of bucks for 4 retainers whats a guy suppose to do? Good luck with your project!Howard

I bought one but have not used it very much. Your tool came with a complete parts list. I would search the internet for Air Locker parts to see where you might locate the parts you need.
