when i thread it on, the two holes end up to the left of center. Are they supposed to crank over 90% more to get back to the top?

The two holes are suppose to be straight at 12 o'clock. You can have it at 1 o'clock for right handed shooters or 11 for left. The two holes will put downward pressure. So adjust accordingly. The crush washer makes it a little hard to time. A jam nut would work better. Apply a lot of torque. If you have too. Sand down the tapered side a little at time to get the two holes where you want it.

Yes. Not trying to insult your intelligence but make sure the crush washer is installed properly before you do.I just took a screwdriver and inserted it through the larger side holes and cranked it tighter, little by little, until the small holes were at the 12 o'clock. When I turned it, I would stop, back it off a little and tighten it again. I've put plenty of rounds through it since its been on with zero issues.

The two small holes go on top and the large slits on the side.Depending on how the muzzle was threaded you may have to file the crush washer down.The crush washer will collapse a long way and get flat to the barrel and the brake.If it has got to the point you can't turn it any more then you need a new washer and then file it down a bit or buy a shim kit.I have yet not had one that could not be timed by filing the crush washer a few thousands of an inch.

yes. crank it down quarter turn, then loosen. repeat until you reach your desired destination (11,12,or 1 o'clock).

You want it to be at about 1 o'clock if you are a right handed shooter. But yeah the crush washer will take almost a whole turn after contact

It's supposed to line up perfectly when you use the pressure washer. I couldn't do it by hand. I had to use a cloth to protect it and then use pliers to twist it

As it appears the top holes are alligned to do so. You may need to alter for the bottom holes.

No threads on either end and in fact one end is closed. The open end is about 1/2". Hope this helps

I get mine close to the sides of the inside opening then turn one end til it fits tight. I've got several up and having no problem at all.

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

Mine has gotten a little tight. I try to put sicon spray on it. The crank can get messed up if yiu crank it past the 10ft mark or crank it lower than the lowest setting. Try to avoid that

They have the left pedal bolt threading reversed when it should be the right one. This causes the pedal bolts to "unwind" and loosen when pedaling forward. I called the customer service for fisher price / mattel and the guy said that if I followed the directions, it would have been fine. You don't need to be an engineer to know that a reverse-threaded left pedal bolt and a standard threaded right pedal bolt will cause both pedal bolts to unscrew under forward pedalling. I guess they hired a managers kid to be their quality control tech and/or design engineer. EASY FIX: After you call customer support to have them resend the bolts and pedals (no charge), go to Lowes, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Ace, etc. and get a high strength epoxy designed for metal to metal. I used Loctite Threadlocker 271 Red. Put the bolts through the pedals all the way. Then dab a little of the red glue on just the bolt threading. It's kinda runny, so be careful. Coat the outter 2/3 of the length of threading (from the tip inward 2/3 of the length, so that when you tighten it, there won't be any squeezed out to get on the plastic pedal). Now, do one pedal at a time and make sure you adhere to the R or L on the bolt head. While holding the outside of the pedal, keep the bolt head (non glued end) pushed in to fully expose the threading on the other end. Mate the bolt threading to the female threading on the crank and SLOWLY turn it BACKWARD. This backward pedalling motion will tighten the bolt (when, if correctly designed, should loosen them). When you feel the threads engage, continue to turn until you have no more finger space left on the bolt head. Then use a wide-head screwdriver to snug it completely. Repeat this with the other side. The glue sets in about 10 minutes, but I did it just after my son had gone to sleep to allow the full 10 hours for the glue to cure. Be sure to spin the pedals a few minutes after you apply it to make sure none of the glue is holding them. Hey Fisher Price, my resume's available if you want it! ;-)

Be sure the 800 end is lined up right. There is a notch that lines up on the bottom side. I had trouble at first because I didn't notice this, but it does go in okay once it is lined up correctly. It might have been a bit tight, at first, but it goes in easily now.

Regular thread, I believe one side goes on in the opposite direction. It's been awhile since I put the bike together but as I recall the pedals threads are regular except for the direction in which they screw on.

The center of the part that lifts up is attached but the crank part is not part of this order

I've never had that problem. I thread locked the screws even though I thought it was overkill. Perhaps they were screwed in at a bad angle and finally gave out?

It is kinda tricky. find the exact spot and to tighten turn clock wise. It took a little while to find the right area to tighten. pull all the way up and keep trying. good luck

Mine didn't initially want to go on, but I pressed down on it, hard, and screwed it in place at the same time. Two things, make sure that you tighten it in a clockwise direction looking down on it, and firmly grasp the section just below where you're screwing the end cap on so that you don't accidentally bow or break the handle. I hope that's of some help.

Hi Virginia, I am afraid you have to drill two 1/4 " holes as It calls for in the instructions. Regards, Guenter

The left one for my truck was 1/3 turn off the bolts on top are not the same spacing, fought for about 2 hours before I figured that out.Hope that helps

I noticed last night that mine is threaded upside down. I'm going to try and get a replacement.
