Unless the locknuts turn easily, i'd take the ride height bar out and set it on the bench. They soon seize up. One's a conventional thread, the other is a left hand thread denoted by a line machined in the nut flats.

I would have thought 261mm can only be a starting measurment. As your chain adjustment is accentric. Therefore when you adjust the chain you alter the ride height. So every time you tension the chain you should adjust the ride height tie rod to compensate.
