Is there supposed to be extra room on the long allen bolt after twisting on the aircraft nut? Mine won't tighten all the way so the bench teeters.

I'm sorry that I can't help you. Mine went together fine. Did you experience the unraveling strip that I had?

No it should be the proper length, you should have washers on both sides (one on the bolt end and one onto the nut side) and the overall bolt length should be exact, when tightened there should be no movement, mine is tight.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

There should be no extra room. Check the threads. Might need a new bolt or wing nut.

The nuts are LOCKNUTS. You have to hold them in place firmly using an adjustable wrench while simultaneously screwing in the bolt on the other side using the Allen Wrench. Yes, it takes some force!

May be its not align properly .Loose both bolt and retight them it should be ok

loosen the 2 nuts on each side where the arms swing out and remove the rubber cap (it looks like a acorn) thats the adjustment bolt loosen will lower and tighten will raise it retighten nuts when done

What I had to do was put a piece of electrical tape on the underside of a wrench to hold the nut. There was enough space for me to put the wrench in with the nut. I put them on a 2001 F350 but I had more of an issue with the rear screws not long enough. Even when I used longer screws they have a tendency of snapping off so I would think about using the screws for the back going in from the side with out the indentation.

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

Mine are loose, too, which creates an unacceptable instability. For such a highly-rated product that otherwise seems pretty solid, this loose connection is really troublesome and unacceptable. They should offer alternative bolts and/or washers to ensure a more snug and professional fit. After all, this is a component that bears weight on each of the different exercises possible.

Make sure that all bolts are in place and hand tight. This will prevent you from "forcing" or "mis-threading" any bolts. Then using the proper size wrench (not an adjustable, since they tend to "round off" the bolt corners) TIGHTEN as tight as you can. All the slack will then be gone. Finally, make sure you are putting the correct length of bolt in each location. Some are longer because they must go through several pieces.

The one I got needed adjusting. I suggest that you loosen the bolts. Start with a 1/8 or 1/4 turn until the joint moves. You do not want it to move freely, the friction is what will keep it where you want. You may need to also use a little WD-40 spray lubricant. Just do not over use.

Mine did not fit perfect...I had to "tweak" it a little to get the proper alignment for the fasteners.

No, they shouldn't be loose at all. The ones on mine fit snug, and I've taken it apart and rebuilt it several times. Check the orientation of the nuts and make sure you're putting them on correctly, with the "larger end" screwing onto the screw. Also, the washers prevent the bolts from being loose, make sure you are using those on every bolt. There may be a little movement after you screw them in, when you use a try to turn either side without a brace on the opposite side.

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

Small star bit, also once u tighten it I recommend covering the screw w a drop of superglue, after that u should be good,

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.

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

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

I pull, tilt, swing it all the time..I guess changing height shld be no problem its a lever type tighter wing type to loose or tight for height..i used a tool to tighten and really hv not needed to change it much...stays tight thou...hv been using over a year now.

I really haven't paid attention to the height of the stock fit. I know mine has a long length of pull and it is tight. But I think an extra 1/4 in high would fit OK, but not much more. I hear you can pull of material and trim to fit then re-glue.
