The problem is with the 7/16" bolts through the 904 centre sections being REALLY tight. I realize that these need to have a really snug fit, but these bolts seem to be too tight - I need to use a fairly heavy blow with the dead-blow hammer (soft face) to get these bolts to move, even with them oiled. I don't want to damage the bolts or the aluminum pieces. Any suggestions? Please. Cliff 9A wings/fuse Chase, BC
