The acorn nuts do yout screw down on the bolts. What am I doing wrong? There's no way the screw will go al the way through the nut.

sorry, can't answer question as I did not have a problem with it. Good luck.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

The threads are reverse. It took me a good bit to figure that out. Turn the nut the opposite way... Righty loosey. Good luck

For anyone reading this...you do have to use a wrench on the "lock" nuts (with the white nylon inner) to turn them until they are tight. you should not just "hand" tighten. If the bolts can spin while you are turning the locknuts with a wrench, then you need to hold the bolt head with a wrench or pliers. The threaded end of the bolt should stick out of the nut a little when you are done...but the real test is that you can't turn the nut anymore because it is very tight and hard to turn.

Try switching around the feet and don't tighten anything until you get all the bolts through. If anything, you might have to drill a little, but I didn't have to. Just keep it kinda loose, until you get everything in.

Does it haves threads in it? One of the nuts that are on the sides didn't have any threads on the one I got. I had to use a tap to cut threads in it.

The nuts are LOCKNUTS. You have to hold them in place firmly using an adjustable wrench while simultaneously screwing in the bolt on the other side using the Allen Wrench. Yes, it takes some force!

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

If I remember correctly, I used an extreme amount of down-force to screw them in. You could always use a drill bit barely larger than the hole to make it bigger. If you do, put a drop of wood glue in the holes before you put the screws in.

some spindle assy come no threads. I went to fastenal and bought the bolts and nuts and put the spindleon the deck. Note that you have self locking nuts to where nuts will not back off your bolt

I was able to make them work for me but I don't have the same bolts you do. Sorry can't be of more help.

I did not try to take the blades off. I think it's probably not safe to. On the new assembly that I got, there is no screw or nut.

I would think there needs to be enough threads on the other side of the panel in order to attach the nut. I struggled with making sure the latch hit where it needed to hit. Good luck!

Are the nuts really small? Are you missing the blades or the grating that the nuts are pushed through? Can you make a video of your process? To me this almost seems physically impossible...

I think that is correct on the rotation of the nut. I think the reason they are tight is because of the lubricant they have applied? I used my drill to run them in and out a few times and seemed to get better. I am going to get some dry graphite spray on lubricant to see if that helpes.

You Cannot. The Bolts are Countersunk. Nut must be tightened from the rear.

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.
