For my Marcy multi purpose bench SB-241, it seems like the bolts are too thick. Whenever I attempt to wrench the nut onto the bolt, it won't screw on all the way and just gets stuck at the very edge. I've rechecked numerous times that I am using the correct nuts and bolts. Also, can you clarify on what exactly I need to do with the L shaped seat brackets? Are they supposed to be oriented as it appears on the diagram with the ends sticking out and are NOT to be inserted into the little groove as somebody may think? And in this case the bolt seems to be too small as it barely reaches the other end and with the washers there is no way I can insert the nut onto it as there is no bolt left. Again, I have rechecked that I am using the correct bolt so what could the problem possibly be?!

Not wishing to insult you, the problem is probably you have little experience/knowledge/aptitude with nuts, bolts and mechanisms to be able to instinctively know why you can't do what the instructions say you must do.

It is quite possible the hardware pack is incorrect or the items badly made.

I suggest in the absence of friends, neighbours or relatives who are experienced/have aptitude that you take your problem to your local car repair shop.

Changing blade on Ryobi chop saw

Unplug the saw. If the blade is moving, wait for it to stop. If the blade arm is locked into its down position, push down slightly on the blade arm to release the tension on the blade arm lock pin. Pull out the lock pin to release the blade arm and allow it to move upward.
2 Rotate the lower blade guard upward and expose the Phillips-head screw that holds the blade bolt cover in place. Loosen the screw and rotate the blade bolt cover up and out of the way to expose the hex-head blade bolt.
3 Push the spindle lock button in and rotate the blade bolt until the spindle lock engages fully, stopping the ability of the blade bolt to rotate.
4 Loosen the blade bolt using a 10-millimeter/12-millimeter combination wrench. The blade bolt is lefthand threaded, which is the reverse of conventional threading. Turn the bolt clockwise to loosen and remove it. Note the placement of the outer washer and remove it as well.
5 Place a drop of machine oil on the inner blade bolt washer. Do not remove the inner washer. If it is missing, replace it before replacing the blade.
6 Slide the replacement saw blade up past the lower blade guard and onto the blade spindle. The blade teeth should point downward at the front of the saw. Saw blades often have rotation arrows that can help you double-check that the saw is installed to rotate the correct direction.
7 Press the spindle lock button in to lock the spindle and reinstall the blade bolt. The blade bolt will tighten in a counterclockwise direction. Replace the blade bolt cover and install the blade bolt cover screw.
8 Position a combination square to check that the blade is square to the saw fence and saw table. If the blade is not square, refer to the procedures in the manual for squaring the blade to the fence and table.
Things You Will Need
  • 10-millimeter/12-millimeter combination wrench
  • 5-millimeter hex key
  • Combination square
  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Machine oil
Tip
  • Overtightening bolts and screws can result in cross-threading. Cross-threading damage compromises the integrity of bolts and screws and can be a difficult error to correct.
Warning
  • Do not attempt to install a blade that is too thick in the saw. If the blade washer cannot engage the flats on the spindle, the blade is too thick for the saw.

How do i get the top bolt out the nut just comes off

If you are trying to remove a stud (a screwed bolt fixed into a metal block) try using 2 nuts. Screw them on and tighten them against each other with 2 spanners. Once tight, unscrew the lower nut. The top nut will stop it moving up the stud and should start turning the stud. An alternative way is to spot weld (tack) a nut onto the stud. Either way turns the stud into a kind of standard bolt.

Remove exhaust port bolts from 2005 FXDLI

Are they BOLTS, or nutted STUDS?

If bolts, put a wrench to them!

IF you mean how to remove the studs AFTER the exhaust is removed, screw two nuts onto the stud, tighten them together, the loosen the stud by turning the nut closest to the cylinder head.

To install studs, double nut again, and turn nut FURTHEST from cylinder head to install.

How do i release the spare tire on my 2005 Kia Sedona

Hi, the spare tire is stored on the underside of the vehicle, under the right-side cargo door. The bolt is located in a recessed area that is protected by a small square plastic covering. To remove the spare tire, find and remove the bolt cover, then use your lug nut wrench to loosen the bolt holding the tire.
Remove the spare tire fastener's plastic cover, place the lug nut wrench onto the lug nut holding the tire onto the bolt, turn the wrench in a counter-clockwise direction until the tire is released and reaches the ground.

How do you install the pully onto the power steering pump?

Find an all thread bolt that is about 3" long that will screw into the pump shaft. You will need a nut and a washer that fits the bolt. Put the nut and washer on the bolt,Set the pulley on the shaft and screw the bolt in the shaft as far as it will go hand tight, but at least 5 or 6 revolutions. you willneed two wrenches , one to hold the bolt and one to turn the nut. The pulley must be flush with the shaft when you are done

Any installation specs on the best way to install the vise on a wood bench?

This is just generic instructions just to give you an idea of placement and mounting. I am not sure if your vise turns or not and that would be a big factor also. It depends on where you want it, if anything is close that will interfere with the vise or whatever you have in the vise. Depends how thick the spot is where you want to mount it. If the place is not very thick, use bolt and heavy washer on top of the vise and a heavy washer, a lock washer and nut on bottom. In place of the lock washer and nut, you could use locknut. If the bench where you want to mount is too thick for bolts, use at least 2" lag bolts with heavy washers with the lag bolts as big as the vise holes will accept. You will need the vise as close to the edge without it hanging over the edge of the bench. This is so you will be able to open and close the vise without obstruction. If placement of the vise isn't a big deal, the center edge of the bench would be great although I always mount mine on one end of the bench because of better movement of the part in the vise. Goodluck.

Wrench support

impact wrenches are often misused by those who don’t know about their special needs. First of all, it is very important to be careful when tightening a nut or bolt with an impact wrench! Cross threading can occur very easily; a novice may also over-torque a bolt or a nut if they don’t know when to stop. To prevent such problems, always be sure to hand-tighten every nut or bolt before using the impact wrench; if you try to start the nut or bolt with the impact wrench, you won’t be able to feel if the threads are crossed. If the impact wrench is not torque controlled – meaning it will stop when the nut or bolt is tightened to a certain torque – you will need to go slowly, and periodically check the torque value of the nut or bolt to make sure you haven’t tightened it too far.
