It has been a while since I did mine but I do not recall having any
problems. If I remember right the one bolt that went behind the cam gear
was tight but after playing with it some it went in. Tightening it was a
little tricky. I ended up using some super loc-tite and used a 90 degree
open end wrench I got it the best I could. You might try using a shorter
bolt.

Subject: Last Valtek question??.. Bob, Karl??
For those of you that were able to take a short cut.. as in, putting on
the Valtek without removing the sprockets.. on my Eldo, when trying to
remove the bottom-most bolt used to secure the Valtek bracket... well,
the bolt head doesn't seem to clear the gear... was there a trick to it
that I can't see.. or must I just break down, quit screwing around, and
remove the chain/sprockets.. I wasn't really looking forward to it.. but
if I must, I must. Reading Steve Ford's description... it sounds like I
could be in a little over my head.... but it's too late now, 'cause the
old tensioner's off... Any last words of wisdom? Bill
