Step 2 Loosen the hand screw on the exterior of each post. You will have four stanchions, each of which can be loosened on the exterior by hand. Do not unscrew too far, as this will bring the adjustment screw out entirely. You want the exterior hand screw to be loose enough to allow you to spread the tower open, revealing the inner mechanisms. Step 3 Loosen the tower opening wide enough to fit your crossbars. Where the tower opens on a hinge (due to the loosened adjustment screw) you should see an Allen wrench adj
