Highway peg mount problem
Anybody know the trick to get the D washer in the peg slot withthe clevis bolt? I've installed highwaypegs/mounts before and don't remember having any issues but I can't wedge the Dwasher in with the peg bolt. Without theD washer the peg just flops around. Gotta be a trick? Help mostappreciated!

I put the washer in as best I can...... then I use a series of allen wrenches going from small then getting bigger to align the washer and peg mount, until the bolt goes in.

If you have a drift punch, it will work wonders.

Finally got them both on. More of a PIA than it should be but... The other side went together fairly easy using the drift pin mentionedabove and a plastic hammer. Had to use the BFH just a bit on the side Istarted on first and it's really stiff to fold the peg. The amount of tribal knowledge and experienceon this forum is fantastic!!! Thanks
