A drill to make holes for the bolts and Phillips #2 (I think...it's been a while since I installed mine. I've purchased two more for my sons) screw drivers and something to hold the nut while tightening the bolt.

I had the same problem. I thought the screw was too long. But my husband figured it out. If you look at the washer very closely you will see that it is slightly "domed". Make sure to put the rounded or domed side facing up, followed by the nut. That worked for me.

answering with another question : The nut wont tighten on the bolt. Are they supposed to be loose like that?

It has a built in screw and nut! I was told it was a fairly easy install! Hope this helps. I'm happy with my purchase!

You just push them in...start with the "positive" end...from what I remember it's sort of tight but you CAN get them installed!

All joints should be tight. The provided nuts are lock nuts. They are harder to tighten because they are more likely to stay on once installed. It is a solid construction if everything is done correctly.

I had the same problem. The nut is an inset nut on the newer models (the manual diagram hasn't been updated to indicate as such); if you push up on the inset nut from the bottom while screwing in the bolt, it will engage the threads. Good luck!

We put ours on with screws. We bought some self tapping screws and put in a couple places on each one to hold it in place then we used the screws that came with it and drilled holes for them.

No screw...kinda like a double nut with a hole n the center. There has been no way for me to tighten it, so it is always wobbly.

Can you tell if the nut insert is moving when you try to install the ball mount? If you were able to removed the allen head bolt with ease. I would think the threads are not strip out.

The screws are already inside the holes. Check the ends and see if they are there and unscrew them...that's how they came shipped to me...inside some of the ends.

Go to a hardware store and get two new screws/bolts. Make sure you get two nuts to lock them down. I have always made sure the nuts are tight and have had no problems.

It wasn't too difficult but there were a couple of screws missing. You need the proper tools and it took some time. My husband just said "it's not for amateurs...it was tricky". He is very handy and found it tricky. I hope this helps you decide!

Mine works fine although it was a real pain to install. The screws are very tiny. Get ready to use a magnetic screwdriver because you'll need it. I spent a very long trying insert the first screw. Once I started using the magnetic screwdriver the process went smoothly.

I just held them in place and screwed the screws on top with my hand. I'm sorry for being so inarticulate. I hope you figured it out. I'm a bit disappointed by the product.
