on the main tuning, here is the information sent to me by Joe Subich (thanks
Joe) as follows:

>should unscrew and easily         slip off of the assembly.

>6.  Next, carefully screw the spring back on by rotating it clockwise

>7.  Rotate the spring clockwise, as far as you're able to with your
>fingers (no tools!).
>8.  Replace the knob, tighten the set screw, and put the rubber skirt
>back on.
>9.  Enjoy!!
