I think I have the same problem. Because one arm is setting on the ground and the other you're trying to attach is at too great an angle. I have an easy solution. I have a cheap HF tote that has a rigid handle. I set one arm on the tote while attaching the other. Makes it easy. The tote I use for storing the wiring harness, safety cable, spare pins and a pair of work gloves. Before the tote I used a small step stool and then the cardboard box I use for the accessories.

Thanks Norm! While I don't know what an HF tote is, I think I get the idea. I've tried resting the 'other' arm on my bumper but always manage to knock it off. I will try with a large box I have - it will probably save me quite a few bruises!
Now, if you have a hint for the pin that won't come out...
Guessi I am lucky. No problem hooking / unhooking Ready Brute. I usually stand between the 2 legs facing the toad. If needed I rest one arm against my leg and pin the other. I have found one side usually goes in easier. Once you have one side in place and pinned, the other just slides in. Also, I always start out with the legs up off the ground, held by the ring used when in the stored position. This helps when I drive the toad into position. Very easy to judge if I am straight and the right distance from the MH to attach the legs. NEVER pound out the pins with a hammer
BTW, I am a 71 year old solo traveller so I do this without any assistance.
