Hi Henrik
You will be very lucky if you can tighten the adjusting nut as Woodrow says. Inevitably the ball at the end of the torque tube will have worn and often at an angle to the face of the adjusting nut. It is also common to find that the adjusting nut has run out of thread and is impossible to tighten fully.
David Stepney posted a fix for the first fairly recently and it is possible to turn down the torque tube bracket face so that you can get more movement on the adjusting nut.
Also remember that tightening the lock bolts and washers may cause the adjusting nut to tighten down on its thread. If the ball is locked solid it can cause the torque tube to fracture.
Cheers
Howard
