Hey jus got a quick question. I'm gettin ready to do a tt
and shackles. I put my x on the lift today to soak everything with some pb blaster. I noticed my bolts seemed ran in pretty far almost to the point where I won't be able to turn them? Idk I'm confused. It looks like the end of the bolt is hitting the top of the t bar supports. Please someone explain to me what turns when u turn them bolts and if anyone else has ever experirienced this befor let me kno. I was under the assumption u cranked the bolts and that you didn't have to replace them someone please let me know thanks
 












when you crank in the bolts it rotates a key that has a pocket the the end of the bolt fits into , loading up the t bar ,
if the bolt is all the way in the keys may need to be taken apart and rotated so that the starting point is further out on the bolt,
there is a special tool used to unload the t bars so that this can happen ,
