Try putting an elliptical together or a treadmill. Now those things
are a pain in the ass. They must have been like 30 bolts and they are
all different sizes, but its not like one 2 inches and the others were
4 inches. I mean like 4 bolts would be 4 inches 4 others would be 4
1/4 inches then 4 others would be 4 1/2 inches and the instructions
did not specify sizes, it came shrink wrapped on a piece of cardboard
that was lettered. When you took the shrink wrap off all the bolts
just got mixed up. That was a pain in the ass!!
