Yes. On some assemblies the adjustment lever can be bent or spacers used so it is moved out from the star wheel so it doesn't make contact. With some assemblies it may be possible to remove the adjusting cable and the adjusting lever entirely. It depends on how the assembly is built.

I have seen several posts from individuals experiencing over tightening (based on imperfect hubs) and other similar issues. Also comments that they are more trouble than they are worth. Given the poor track record of my RV's quality control, I am bracing for another problem coming around the turn. Snake bit.
