Got new Marham tooth bar, side tab bent! Help!

[fatcat]

Well, last night I pounded on the tab about 10 or 12 times and got the bend out! I was supprised. The owner at Markham just said to pound it out with a hand sledge and not to worry ... so I did and it worked just fine.

All installed and a new member to the "Bucket Tooth" club.

Mine arrived with a bent "Tab" last week too....thought that it was an isolated incident but after reading this post something is not Kosher here.....I think that the Toothbar is great but maybe they need to ship it in some kind of a crate to protect it???? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

DJLX,

Wow there is someone else like me out there. I have a drawer full of adjustable wrenches. I can't remember ever using one on a nut or bolt, but they are very handy for reaching down inside tight places and straightening things out by either putting an extension through the hole or using another wrench on the handle for leverage.
