I did that, loosened the bolt and the whole thing spring and all came off, without the right tools this is not going back together right, spring is to tight.

No, all you need it a socket and for the inside nut. Just don't over tightened.

you probably over tightened it they don't need to be that tight just enough to you could swing the mirror side to side of the up and down

We used an Allen wrench (also known as a hex key) to tighten everything. You can then keep it or throw it away I guess.

i used it with an impact wrench. Make sure the threads are heavily lubed with oil.

There was enough spring in the uprights, just pull them apart. Put the cross bar in one end and push on it while pulling on the other upright.

If you cant get the bolts to tighten, you will need to replace them with a new anchor kit 84999. Unless I am misunderstanding you.

Good grief. That sucks. I suppose it depends on which bit broke. I assume it's the reverse thread end. Maybe it snapped deep enough that another try will grip enough to pull the whole thing out. Most auto part stores will loan them. If not I'm afraid it's a head pull.

hi there all u have to do is turn the top of the ratchet head clockwise or counterclockwise to tighten the bolt or un tighten the bolt but use the required socket to complete the job

Just used a wrench. I had limited corrosion around it I guess so it came off with the use of a wrench and a cheater bar

I did,but I don't see why you would have to.It still should work properly whether you screw it down before or after tightening the bolts.

Lube the threads and work it a little. Mine was the same and it tightened right up. Works fine now.

It takes some modification and tweaking. I had to use some alligator clips and test leads then I pulled the spring a little. Do a search of the web to see what mods or hacks others have done.

You can fix it easily... Just pull it out and push it back in the right position.

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

I had the same problem. It is because it is not very long. I suggest you drill a half inch hole fore or aft of the pin going completely through and install a bolt and nut. That will take out any looseness and be very secure.

You should be able to pop the top cover off the bolt for the hinge and tighten it up. I hope this helps. If not i will try to give you a bettter fix. I have not personally had this problem.

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.
