Who knew a 12" piece of pipe would become the adult equivalent of the empty box at Christmas?
I remove & install my bars routinely when going off/on road. No time to mess with jacking, sometimes sitting in the middle of the road. I simply snap them off and make sure the TV and trailer are in a straight line when putting them back on. If for some reason the terrain makes them too tight at the regular setting, I start with one more link on one side, then do same on other side, then go back to first side and set at normal, then do same on opposite. The lighter setting helps support the load enough to get the other side on at first.
As for using/not using the pipe, I see no reason to not use it if you have one. Can't see putting fingers into chains and clips, for any reason. I lost my pipe on one trip and used the hole in the handle end of a 12" Crescent wrench on the tab.
