Is there a way to loosen the " string portion" of the brace once it has been tightened?

The string may have slipped off a pulley. The plastic cover pulls off so you can acces the pulleys.

The thingamabob on the end of the string is fairly solid. You can remove it if you wish.

You could try checking the tension using the instructions in the manual. If it's too loose it will come off.

try "jiggling" the bottom metal piece while you're tightening it. also, hand-tightening is not enough...you should be using a wrench or ratchet

I haven't had to tighten mine yet, but I think I could loosen the knot at the end of one of the lines and tighten then re-knot the line. I really enjoy using this unit. It's not as stable as one that are cemented in the ground, but I like that I can dismantle and store when not in use. Good luck if you do need to tighten the lines.

The adjustment wrench needs to be removed from its storage hole inside the cajon and used on the two allen screws on the bottom of the cajon between the front feet. Each screw tightens or loosens one side of the bar that the strings are mounted to.

The jaws have a replaceable plate... The bar that will open and close the jaws will not allow you to over tighten the strength of the cast... IMHO... I would not sweat it... if something gives way just send it back... but do be careful not to hurt yourself... safety first... Good luck... all my best... Bill

My brace is very tight and use it for gym workout and tai chi...so use it an hour at a time.it is too uncomfortable to wear it over ang period of time.

I discovered that the adjustment of tension can be modified by taking off the tension by unlatching the pawl then push the pawl until the nut clears the retaining pin and then screwing the nut in or out depending on whether you wish the tension increased or decreased once the lever(pawl) is latched. Directions should have been included to tell one this but not included with mine.

Put a few drops of medium strength (blue) thread lock on the thread before you tighten it if you are worried about it vibrating loose over time...

Yes. There are tutorials online to show you how to shorten it -- cut the hook off and reset the hook with the tool provided. The rope tightens like a chinese finger trap --if you push back on it to loosen it, it will come out.

I simply tightened it by twisting handle & had no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helped Kevin

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

Make sure that the toggle between tightening and loosening is pushed all the way to one side or the other. If its in the middle it will not do anything.

I have, because I tightened it too tight. Just snug it up, and you'll be ok.

Yes it is you will have to take take the brace off the edge and replace it with the new one
