Trying to replace headlight assemblies on an 01 XLT. Prior to starting I watched a few YT vids. Looked simple in the videos when the new ones slid right in and locked down. Not for me though.
The bottom right & left threaded post's black plastic 'nuts' on both of new assemblies are nowhere near where the old ones are located. They do not even pass far enough through the mounting hole for the locking bar to properly engage the locking bar. I'm guessing they weren't properly positioned on the threaded shaft during manufacture???
See attached pics.
Please, how do I adjust these things??? The entire shaft just spins on the ball joint when turned. I tried holding the threaded shaft tight with padded pliers and turning the plastic nut but it would not budge and didn't want to force it.
If it matters, I bought Left & Right TYC 20601400/20601300 CAPA Certified from Rock Auto.
Appreciate any help.
