I honestly just read that and have no idea what you are asking. Periods are your friends. Torque the bolts to 75 ft/lbs.

If you can't tighten the four bolts on the top that means that the nuts on the bottom of the bolts are not on. The nut on the back is just threaded on to a stud that is threaded into the bearing carrier. Hope I could help. Did you have to cut the chain ?If so maybe you cut it too short and the nut on the back is not going on the stud. The only thing holding the nut on the back is a c clip on the other side of the nut

thanks for the help i appreciate it im sure i didnt cut my chain to short because the stud is still going into the line of trvail it doesnt wanna just lock in tho for some reason

i have the same problem with one of my bolts the big bottom screw it feels as if it is stripped to me so how would i go about re threading that or do i need to buy some kind of new bolt and nut?

For jonridesz400, I have had the same problems. If only one bolt will not tighten that probably means that the nut is stripped. You can just buy another nut which is actually two nuts in one.The bottom left and right bolts screw into the same piece. It is hard to explain but once you see what I am talkin about you will understand.

[suzukiboy]

Really sorry to hear bout your arm, u should be able to figure it out though. And I also had to buy a new carrier once. Got mine on E-Bay, u save alot of money.
