What is the mod to the swing arms, is it something we could do ourselves without needing to send it in.

Hey Lucky,
The mod is fairly simple if you have the tools for it; the first step is to push out the pin connecting the black Hinge to the blue Collar – if you have a drill press, it’s easy to do with a 1/8″ bit or piece of rod. The next step is to tap one side of the Hinge for a #8-32 Button Head Cap Screw 3/8″. The hole in the Guide Rod and the hole in the non-threaded side of the Hinge need to be bored out to allow a close fit for the screw. I’m also using 0.125×0.23×0.01 washers from Drillspot though the mod works well enough without them. I reassemble using the screw in place of the pin and tighten it up. I like to get it fairly tight, then put a drop of oil in and work the rod a few times until it moves smoothly. You can us some purple loctite to keep the screw from loosening up. I hope that helps.
