Pachmayr Swing Mount

Does anyone have instructions on how to tighten up a Pachmayr Swing Mount? I just mounted one on my Winchester 88 and although there's no movement the thing "swings" pretty easily.
The mount "snaps in place" nicely so I think that small spring steel "hook" that pulls down against the stud on the upper part of the mount is in place, it's just that the thing swings to the left pretty easily.
Also, what is the purpose of the knurled steel wheel in the middle? I've read the wheel is supposed to be turned and allow the upper of the mount to be separated from the base.

That's all I can remember, hope it helps.

I experimented a bit and found the two end cap screws can be used to adjust how flat the posts sit when the mount is snapped into position. It's a bit of a challenge getting the posts to sit flat front & back but I think I've got it.
