Help with Rear Swingarm Bracket
OK, I am installing new passenger floorboard mounts on my '08 RKC. In doing so, I removed the rear swingarm bracket (just one at this time). I could tell when I was removing the bolts that there seemed to be pressure on them, which made me wonder if I should be doing it. But I went ahead and removed them and now want to reinstall the bracket. However the holes dont quite line up
The holes on the body are wider apart than the holes on the bracket. Can anybody help explain to me what I need to do to reinstall the rear swingarm brackets?
Much appreciated

gmc,
Thanks for the info... I don't currently have a jack under it but am able to get one under it. I understand what you mean, because right now, the little nub is not centered. It is forward, which probably makes sense, seeing as the other swingarm bracket is still on. Not? Sounds like a two person job. I didn't hurt anything by removing that, did I? If I am going to remove the other, would it be easier to install this one first, rather than having both off at the same time?
Thanks again...
