STEP 5 Continued:
D. Thread a second acorn nut onto the exposed end of the rod. If there is not enough exposed
thread to start the nut or if the rod will not go all the way through the drum, double check to
make sure the drum edges are fitted all the way into the rim of the cap and the flanges are in
the alignment slots. If there is still a problem, loosen the acorn nut on the first end of the tie rod
or press firmly on both endcaps to seat them fully.
E. Repeat steps "c" and "d" with remaining three tie rods and six acorn nuts, connecting
the three remaining pairs of holes in endcaps. When all four rods have been positioned and
secured, tighten all eight acorn nuts using an adjustable wrench at one end and a
wrench at the other. Note: Do not overtighten.
