How do you install this thing? It came with two steel rods without any groove. The instructions just says hit it hard with hammer after inserting the

There is a cap that goes over the wheel, you have to hit it REALLY hard several times for it to snap in

At the ends of each rod there should be a groove. Just slide the rod into the wheel and hit the rod with a hammer. It should pop into place. If there are no grooves then you received a defective product.

The axel "rod" is difficult to place into the frame holder. A mallet will not do it (you can't pound the rod into the holder) as continuous pressure is needed to force the rod into the plastic. What was successful was placing the axel rod above the frame holder and then using a flat piece of wood place it on top of the rod and putting heavy pressure (both hands down) on the wood board (not directly above the holder but just inside) and push down. It takes significant pressure. Do one side at a time. Once it's put together you will love it. CKK

Grip the spiked end. Turn the handle end counter clockwise to unscrew it. Put the rod through hole and reassemble it.

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

Mine came with an installation guide and a cutting template. I installed mine on a 2" butcher block counter as a top mount and the clips that came with it are very difficult to attach, it's like they are too small. If you have a specific question, I can check my installation guide and try to answer.

I had a gun smith install mine but a friend of mine did them himself. Just need a vice, punch and a hammer. Be patient and as gentle as possible.

Installation requires the use of a bar or lever to tighten the unit down and index it correctly. I used a steel rod with tape around the end to protect the finish. The rod just needs to fit into one of the slots/ports on the muzzle brake.

After checking the site, I think that review is no longer there. My husband placed the nails at the base of the edging which is later covered up with dirt. Just remember the sun is your friend before you work with the edging. Make sure you unroll the edging and place it directly in the sun for at least one-half day before you attempt to install. This will ensure ease of installing so it won't keep rolling up while you're installing it. I think you will be pleased with the ease of the installation and the result from this edging.

That is exactly how mine was installed. I hired 2 knowledgeable workmen to assemble. It took about 6-8 hours and workmen tools. Sorry I can't help any further.

4 posts. Make sure to use a commercial hammer drill for install, cuts time big time. Took about 3 hours total to install

I didn't install personally, someone else did it for me, but I would say 2 screws and that should be it. It took it no time to do so, like a minute.

I replaced the rod a few months ago. It's meant to be bent. and you straighten it out as you insert it.

I'm sorry to say that I hired someone to install it, and don't know where he got it. I'm sure that if you took it to your local hardware store, or even Home Depot ,etc, that they would be able to advise you.

I'm modifying one. So far, I cut the hilt in half and inserted a 4" piece of hickory sledgehammer handle, using a 3/8" threaded rod after I drilled and tapped (made threads) inside the cut. Then I drilled out the center of the hickory, put epoxy in one end of the sword, screwed in the rod, let it set, put epoxy on the threads where the hickory went and put it on, let it set, and finally put epoxy in the other part of the hilt and screwed it down. It is holding up like a champ and shifts the balance back a couple of inches as well as fixing the short hilt.Next thing to do is to tweak the balance & percussion points by wrapping some flat lead around the hilt and then testing it.

Very difficult. Over the life of the product I'm sure it ended up sort of "welding" itself to the shaft. I sprayed it with WD-40, let it set for a while and then with some effort and a plier, I was able to remove it and install the new one.

I personally drilled holes in the bottom and bolted mine to the concrete floor. There were 2 holes there already but I wanted to put in 4. I also put two through the back so it could not be rocked. It is not going anywhere!!

Did you take the old rod AND spring out? Is the rod installed the correct way? Did you put the slide retention pin in correctly? I'd give YouTube a whirl.
