In my model 1 Saturn, the rod seems to be very hard to adjust. I can't seem to get it to lift up, and the disc seems to spin better with the black protective casing removed.
Also, should I just leave the protective casing off? The discs spin a hell of a lot better than they did with the casing on, but would this be better in the long run?
P.S.: I have another model 1 Saturn coming in the mail, so do you have any tips to make it last longer than my current one?
