theres 2 bolts on your bearing carrier 1 on top and 1 on bottom right above your chain guard. then theres two small 10mm bolts and 2 12mm nuts that hold it in adjustment. soon as the 17mm bolts on the carrier are loose you should be able to shove the axle forward or backwards to tilt it. just make sure when you tighten your chain back up that some1 close to your weight is sitting on the seat while your doing it.

you need to get a ruler. the chain should have about half an inch movement up and down. so put the ruler on the frame. take note of where it is on the ruler. if it is sitting on 4 inches, push up on the chain. it should go no higher than 4.5 inches. same thing goes for pressing down on it as well. it should not go any lower than 3.5 inches.
