best way to tighten them is to simply unstring the sidewall, and then restring it tight again.
plyers work too, but i prefer not to because you always have the risk of pulling too hard, and losing grip on the string and slipping, which may cause injury to one's self.
take the extra minute and redo the sidewall.

I guess just work your way down the sidewall with the pliers. Just kinda follow it down the head and tighten it as you go. Just have it untied so when you get to the bottom you have it ready to tie off tightly.

I untie the knot at the bottom and put alot of slack in it, move all the slack to the top and work my way down, that way i do not have to restring it but i do not have to do all the work.
