Rockslide Engineering HELP Please!!!

[immaechu]

So I was undoing the body mount bolts. The rear and front were easy enough for me to slide the bracket in. As for the middle... The bolt was able to unthread but the washer hole seems too small and would get stuck right before the threads leaving me with only like 2 mil of space. And not allowing me to slide the bracket in.

Should I just take the bolt out completely and figure it out? or force it between the washer and bolt by hammering it in?

kinda stuck.....

please help.

Thanks

If I understand you right, the washer is too close to the bolt head. Rockslide says to take a small file and clear up that gap... However, I also read about an install where a guy took a socket that cleared the head bolt and hit the socket a few times to move the washer a little down the threads to create enough gap for the Sliders. I have not installed mine yet, so, I cannot give you any first hand experience.

I will try and file it down today. If not, ill take the whole bolt out and see wtf is going on.

Mine was pretty tight on the middle bracket. I did not have to file, but it did take some finagling to finally pop in.

When I installed mine, I made sure to do the loosen / tighten sequence (CCW/CW) to ensure the bolts did not bind

* my sentences might not be grammatically correct. Its new years eve and im a bit tipsy
I was able to undo the whole bolt (took it out)
And filed the threads down a bit. Driver side fit in easy. Going to connect the wires tomorrow.

Anyways happy new year

I had the same problem I filed a small amount of the threads near the bolt head and I was able to persuade it on
