Rotate landing gear leg inserts

Im getting ready to put som JT Strongarms on my 5er but on my front landing gear I noticed that the legs seem to be 90 degrees off from what I normally see. In other words, the pull pin to adjust the leg inserts is actually in the rear so looking at the front of the trailer you can see all the adjusting holes on the landing legs.

I need to pull the inserts out and rotate them 90 degrees. The holes and everything else is in place just not sure how to go about getting the thing high enough to drop the legs out if they even will drop out.

Any ideas??

Thanks,

you say your is on the back side of the leg do you have a hole on the outside of the leg to be able to move the pin from the back to the side i would look before moving anything


Thanks for the input. That is kinda what I had in mind about digging a hole and yes, after looking at it I shouldn't have an issue with mounting holes. It appears that it will work fine when rotated.
