just got this delivered the other day.
any hints on installation?
tried to loosen the bolt on the frame and it did not budge.
The easier way is to unthread the NUT, not the bolt. From the factory, it looks like the bolt's shaft got a chalk coating applied to it. The chalk prevents the bolt from rotating inside the frame. So if you're trying to unfasten by wrenching on the bolt head, you're fighting against some additional friction.
