Re: 12 bolt install problems.

There are 2 sets of mounting holes on the torque arm for attaching to pad of axle housing. One is for a 12 bolt, the other is for a Ford 9". You're trying to align it to the wrong set of holes. And now you lopped it off so..... yeah.... don't know what to tell you now.

Out of curiosity, what brand 12 bolt is this?
