Re: Toughbox Assembly

I assembled both of our tough boxes yesterday in about an hour and a half with a lot of interruptions. I had no major problems what so ever assembling it. For the roll pins I got a metal hammer and put the shaft on a table with a hole in it. As i tapped in the pin the excess in the opposite side of the shaft went in the hole. Took about a minute. The hardest part for me was getting the gears on our Cims. The two from the kit of parts this year have a better keyway design than those from years previous. So when i put the key onto the shaft it was a bit hard but nothing to bad.
