That a sign the pan or the tab is bent. Pull, bend the tab down and
straighten it out.

Hi folks,






The hook only catches they pan by 1/8", and that's not enough to hold it
while the bolt is inserted.  Any ideas on a quick fix?






All I can think of is welding an extension on to the hook or the pan.  Am I
missing an easier solution?






Thanks,






Stuart
