HI Jason, i seem to recall using the tool they supplied with the install kit and a larger socket wrench to get the torque needed to start the bushing. Once it started it was fine. Also you may be able to use a hammer and the tool to "pre-flatten" it just a little to make it fit tighter into the hole. Hope that helps.

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.

Do you have any of the same size screws that are missing? If so, I would take one and pick up the replacements at Home Depot or Lowe's. If not, then I would tape measure the hole, or better yet take a piece of paper and trace over the whole so that you get the width you need..then head on down to your local hardware store, where you should be able to get the replacement screws you need. Hope that helps!

Yes I had the same problem. I was able to drill a couple of holes and mount it to the back.

I had a similar question, and called the company number on the insert. They were helpful.

I'll see if I can't figure out which of my washers came from this insert, but here's a little advice:It sounds like you're asking so you can determine where to cut the hole for the blade... You'll get a better result with zero-clearance if you don't cut the hole, but rather make the insert, and then raise the blade through the insert itself. This will make the hole perfectly sized and positioned, with no measuring involved.See here:http://youtu.be/lQiiU5W2vHk?t=7m15s

Just did. You will need to apply some pressure to get them inserted. Just please be sure to align them properly before inserting.

It fits in the factory made hole ,if you drilled another hole I don't think it will fit

Same problem, but I just screw right through it and it works out fine. I recommend drilling pilot holes first to make things easier.

i think you have it "backwards". Just gently un-bolt the sides and swap them. That should do it!

I am having issues with it fitting flush due to the rivets. Did you ever attempt/resolve this?

Wow. That's exactly the problem I am left with. I've re-visited my install as I kept thinking that there was something I wasn't doing right. You've actually helped me! Since the original sat flush now I'll dig out the old gaskets and see if it'll seat properly and re-use them. If you find a solution do let me know. Thanks. Jean

Just like Justin said, only thing I might add is just make sure the insert is in the right position and the handle is between the 2 arrows on the upper shaft (toward the engine). Hope this helps.

Get a screwdriver and really get in there, it'll tighten! Just took a lil more than a few twists.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

It is easy on the insert it says OPEN THIS SIDE I used a sturdy knife on that side and gently prided it up, to replace it you put in that side first and press firmly down and it clicks into place. If you notice there is a little lip on the side to open you have to place it below the lip and then press down.I hope this was helpful. Bye Ricalda

Depending on the fasteners that were holding it on, reattach, widen exisiting holes and bolt it on. Or drill new ones. Just ensure you use good quality bolts, such as a stainless steel. Otherwise, you may need to contact the manufactuer for such a request.
