why are you also removing the outer piece with the markings on it. couldn't you just grind that down too and leave it on there? its the part pictured with the pliers on it.
did you get what I was saying that if you had to adjust right quite a bit that you could turn whatever makes the clicking out of the splined part? I don't think the clicker is right at the top of it but it would be interesting to know how much there was to work with before you would damage something by turning it too far to the right/out
this is a great idea though.
