...or planet arms anyway. I had a couple of the planet arms that were sagging a bit. There is actually a very simple solution. Remove the brass colar holding the plant arm and turn it over. The holes are not always perpendicular, and turning the colar over cures the problem a treat

Little bit of PTFE tape works well.
