jpit,
I'm wondering about the fronts there. When I was reading the instructions, one of the last things on the fronts to do is to 'pull outward' and mark the bottom hole with awl. Then use screw to tighten down.

Here's the question. By this point in the process you have already installed the push pin on the bottom (where the rivet was drilled out) and the screw at the top. How in the world can you pull outward on the guard? I would think that everything is pretty tight at that point.

Can you enlighten future DYI's like me?
