Crossbar Keep Nuts Wiggle when installed improperly #15

The crossbar's Keep Nuts require an axial pull-out force to get their teeth to properly engage. Otherwise, shoulder screws attached to them will wiggle.

The easiest fix for this is to simply screw in an M4 screw with a stack of washers into the Keep Nut with a sufficient amount of torque such that the teeth engage; then, remove the M4 screw and washer stack and resume normal assembly. This needs to be added to the instructions.

Ok, there are now instructions telling folks to temporarily tighten an M4 screw and spacer into the assembly in order to get the teeth to fully engage.
