Default Reclocking

Disregard the bracket in the picture.

I have to reclock the arm about 180 degrees. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

Don

Default That simple?

Just spoke with Hope Aero and I'm told just to remove the 6 bolts, rotate where I want it to sit after being careful with the gasket and snug up it up.

Is it really that simple?

Yes, that's all you do. Remove the 6 small bolts and turn the top anywhere you like, then snug up the bolts and wire them up. Do not pull out the top, just turn it. The bolts can be a bit hard to loosen so be careful with that.

Default Carefull with the torque

Be careful how enthusiastically you torque the 6 little bolts, you can guess how I know this.
Cheers

You may just have to loosen the 6 screws. Rotate the head, then tighten back down.
