This should help.
Good contribution to this thread. I'll just add that you should first disconnect the cable and then back off the locking axle nut (the thin nut that's inboard of the bell crank) and then screw in the bell crank until it's firmly tightened on end of the the axle. Then back it off only until the articulating arm and cable nut are in line with the cable travel along the chain stay. Finally, snug the thin locking nut against the bell crank. Then proceed to the gear adjustment.
