Yep!

But the X2 feels different now. Drivingwise.
Cant explain better than it feels "wobbly"...(spongy?)...

Having experienced the "wobble" for some days I decided to take off the stearing frame/bar...
I found residue of tape and dirt and already marks between the related parts down there!
See the pics!
I cleaned all the parts and assembled the LSF...much better again!

I notice you are using a ball-end wrench. This is a recipe for a marred bolt head. People with experience will tell you to use a regular square head wrench instead.

I agree that a flat head (or square cut end to the hex wrench) is a far superior tool.

I have several sets of hex wrenches that have a ball on the long end, which has a short handle, so very little torque, and a flat head on the short end, which has a longer handle for greater torque. I believe that this arrangement is with a purpose, and if you have a tight bolt, or want to tighten the bolt, you will naturally need to use the flat short end so that the longer handle will help to give you the leverage you need...
