Loosen the nuts/bolts on the aluminum plate and now adjust with your cross bar to whatever alignment spec's can be achieved . Tighten down the secondary nuts on your bar and then tighten down the aluminum plate hardware . Is that the general idea ? I'm thinking turning the bar with a wrench vs. your finger tips on the knurled section would be easier . Just thinking out loud .
Not a bad idea, however the wall thickness of the link tube would probably be greatly compromised if there were "flats" put into it. I suppose an alternate could be to weld a pair of nuts on the ends of the tube. I used jackstands when I installed mine and had no problem turning the tube by hand.
