Position Right Leg, Locate Underside Reinforcing Plate
-Right
Leg should be placed a maximum of 7" (165mm) from Left Leg.
-Using a tape measure, square the 2 legs to each other.
-Drill
Hole #1 as indicated by the Yellow Pencil.
-Place a Long
Bolt in drilled hole and "resquare" the 2 legs.
-Drill
the 2nd hole.
-Insert Long Bolt in the drilled hole.
WHY 7" from leg to leg??? Currently (7/02), the largest
front tire known is 150mm (@25.4mm per inch, 150mm =6").
You may make it less wide from inside-to-inside measurement, if
desired. But the vise opening needs to be at least ½"
wider than your front tire so you can get into the vise.

Attach Underside Reinforcing Plate
-Grab wrenches, Drill with
bit and the Underside Reinforcing Plate..
-Go underneath trailer
bed and attach Underside Reinforcing Plate.
-While under the
trailer, PARTIALLY drill remaining holes.
Note: Only
drill partially thru the wood going "up". The holes
will
align better if you finish drilling holes from topside.
Note:
The 2 Long Bolts cannot be fitted with Lock-Nuts when used on
wooden
trailer beds.

Finish Drilling All holes and Install Hardware
-Install
remaining bolts and hardware from the topside.
Note: When
installing U-Bolts make sure U-Bolt remains "level" to keep
it from
binding in the drilled holes. It may be
necessary to "tap" U-Bolt with a hammer
to seat.
