How the heck am I supposed to get a wrench in to get to the bolts on the enders holding that part of the latch down? It's an impossibility haha

I can't remember how I did mine, but I remember it being a pain in the ass. Post a pic and I'll see if it jogs my memory.

Did you get instructions with yours?

I just looked at the Drake Installation PDF on quadratecs website.

I'm sorry if you already have this, but if you don't, here it is.

It really looks like if you had a tiny 1/4 ratchet, and extensions with maybe a flex joint....that would knock it out.
