I just got my kit in the mail. Noticed that two of the four shackle plates do not exactly line up with the bolts pressed into the other shackles. They are about .050" off center. Should I open up the holes in the plates so that the bolts will go through or what? I have two pair that will slide all the way down the bolts and two that won't even enter the holes in the heavy duty plates.
Thanks
Trailer is 26FK 1996
Kit is K71-652-00
After some more inspection, I see that the pressed in shackle bolts have the grease holes at the 6 or 12 o'clock position (which ever way you hold it). I have read posts concerning these. Can someone set me straight on this. Are these Ok as they are or should Dexter send new assemblies with the 3 or 9 o'clock positioins?
