I know Warren and everybody else says to finger tighten them down, but on my RS-75, I am getting wildly different results if I do it with the strings tuned up, or the strings slacked off. I am talking about the co-rod nuts here. I am just curious how all you Yates owners have found to do it. Please share your process.

I don't believe co-rods should be used for anything other than that; not a good string action adjustment in my mind.
