I am in the process of installing a set of ER bushings. The instructings say and show that some alignment washers need to be installed betweend the bushing and the mount. The problem is, there is no room at all to insert the washers. Here's a pic. What is wrong?
And I know that I have the bushing installed pointing toward the camera. I just wanted to show the interference that I am seeing. This is a very snug fit... I hope that someone can shed some light on this... thanks -- brett |

iirc the instructions warn you NOT to torque everything down until the whole process is complete to avoid the pinching issue. i missed the at first on one side and had to open it up slightly with a pry bar. with the conical washers you leave them slightly loose and shake the front end to settle things in. if the washers haven't rotated to where they need to be you can build in a bind. when installing the poly/bronze you need to visualize where you need the zerk fitting to be. clocked just enough for access but not pointing down to the point where they are in the direct line of fire.
