That Axis shaft is a good back up plan. Only a back up plan for me though, as I would not be thrilled about having to buy a new shaft after spending $550+ on a new pedal anytime soon. But if I had the DW9000 double, it would save my a$$.

You loosen the round top nut multiple turns, then push down on it (the round nut) with forefinger and thumb which displaces the long hex head nut on bottom from the pedal frame. Just use the pinky on same hand to spin the hex nut right or left, then let go and spring snaps it back into place, twist to insure it is seated properly then retighten the round lock nut back down and viola. Seriously this takes all of 30 seconds to accomplish. Hardest part to me is clearing the belly from my drum throne!

im glad you posted this i was going to try and explain they way i adjust my 9000 but you took the words right outta my mouth.. :)
