My rear yoke guides failed due to user error. I think they must have been a little loose and/or I tried to drop or close the front door when the rails were extended.
I'm wondering if these guides are meant to fail to protect other (more expensive) parts? Like the rails themselves or the threads for the guides, etc - due to being made of weaker material? Related, I'm wondering how I can know the rails are not damaged?
I've found some replacement guides on ebay and was told installing them is a bit fiddly. I noted my right guide had 1 shim and the left 2. The guides also have seating pins attached as well ... are these removable, in case my replacement guides are missing them?
The seller mentioned loosening both front and rear yoke guides to get the adjustment correct. Should all the guide screws (front and rear) be snug tight when final adjustment is complete?
Thanks for any yoke / guide adjustment advice!
