Coil Ears

[Donut]

Ok look at he coil ears closely and see if they are bending inwards.
Now loosen the nut so it is LOOSE.
Now wiggle the coil and if it wiggles I’d do this.
Take a one gallon plastic milk jug and make spacers the same as the washers out of the plastic y(/they pop out).
Now place the spacers behind the washers then coat the washer with dialectic grease,or Plummer’s grease or even Vaseline. Makes it easer to get the shaft between the ears.
now lightly tap the bolt in till it’s at the other side then line up and lightly finish tapping threw.
My wobble went away and I do not have to tighten the bolt as tight.

I did the same thing with plastic from a disposable sliced meat container.
