    Grab a 1/2 wrench and start turning. It might be 5/16 or 5/8 I can't totally remember. The rail chassis are not self adjusting.

    Darnnn. See thing about me is...im not mechanically smart. I never popped a hood open till i owned my truck. I literally just recently began learning stuff. Like changing lights on a chassis. Ya i literally learned that at kiswani. I almost quit my first week bcz of it. I changed a lot since i became a o/o but still im not 100% there mechanics wise

    Any of you guys using that "Rail Pass App" for Elwood? Does it really save time? I really don't see the néed as it only takes about a minute to ingate generally.... I see now Landers is getting ready to open up a couple of express lanes also.
