If I need to adjust mine cold I set them on the fat side, or "heavy duty" as the book calls it, then follow the book and adjust them again when it is hot. It only takes about 10 or 15 minutes and one revolution of the crank, I feel that it is still just about as hot when I am done. It works great for me, I'll even stop and adjust them at a rest area If I think they need it, it's that quick.
