Default 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

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!
