another newb... another savage...
Ok so my camera battary is run down so sorry i cant take a pic! ill try to describe it as well as i can. Ok so near the arms that hold the wheels theres one with like a screw in the middle. It lets you adjust it so the wheels sort of stay straight up and down or sort of lean inward. i cant get the screw in either part of the arms! I sat there for like 20 minutes twisting and shoving and i just cant get it in the hole! Any tips?

don't heat it. That will only cause more problems.
Put one of the parts in a vice, and the try to screw the other part into it that way, putting your body weight into it. It should work

im sure its the right screw cuz it looks like the one in the picture and it has two sides that you can screw(that didnt sound right).

I know precisely what you are talking about. Mine was also a ***** to put on, because they aren't threaded. You have to do it yourself. The shocks will also be that way. The best way to do it is with a vice.

ya i kinda got the idea they wernt threaded. I saw that the ring thing on the very top didnt dip down into a spiral They make it look so easy to build! You can even type savage ss with one hand!
