Just to add another tip, when turning the rod, after snipping the tie wrap, put a small amount of rubber lube, I use WD40, around the rod under the rubber and it won't turn with the rod then.
I've got a Trackrite and whilst a little delicate, it is a brilliant piece of kit, so easy and simple to use. I bought it after another Three Wheeler friend brought his along to a meet to demo. it.
