yeah definately let it cool down first lol. also what he said about the stops is very true! my bottom stop was loose within the first week of driving around. had to get a wrench on one end, then turn the other to finally get it to where it wouldnt move. come to think of it, i might check it this weekend to, im to paranoid about those things coming loose like it did for derek. i tend to check mine every other month or so.
