If the gap's too close, I bend the thingie back with the hook, then measure. If now too wide, I give it a smack with a 3/8 Ratchet handle. My old Craftsman has a rectangular cross section handle. Figure 1/1000th per casual whack.
Measure again til it's there..
The important thing is not to spill the beer.
