Just wondering why you have to turn the aluminium cup round for step 3, wont it just work leaving the cup as it is in step 2?

Not used it yet, and a 3rd step is no big deal just wondered why it needs to be turned round. (i'm probably missing something that will be obvious when i actually use it!)

Looking at the diagram the screw wont be long enough unless you turn it around.

you turn the cup around incase you pull the bush to far in.

If you don't and you pull the bush to far in you will **** the edge up on the bush.
if you turn the cup around and pull to far it will just come out the shock the other side with no damage.

simples!

It will also reduce the chances of the bush being pulled in off-square as there appears to be a fair bit of play in the cup/screw hole.
