Then give it a couple of light taps w/t hammer/screwdriver combo on the teeth. In the direction of 'tightening' the unit. Then grease and screw in the nds until it stops. Then a couple of taps on the teeth...again in the direction of 'tightening' until the whole unit feels solid. Just make sure you clean and grease the frame threads before you install. Then mount your cranks tapping them w/t rubber mallet. Use Loctite-Red on your crank bolt threads...don't worry they'll come back out should the need arise.
yeah, don't listen to this ape.
