Shock mount not all the way in
Is there any trick to getting the shock mount all the way in, its still about an 1/8" from the bearing support. I thought it would pull the rest of the way in when torqued, but it just wont pull through, I dont want to break the bolt by torquing too much.
Thanks

The knurled shoulder must be hanging up on the hole.
I would try a few good taps with a hammer - should do it.
If not, pull it out and examine. Maybe you need to take a file
and cut the knurls down a few mils.

I tried tapping with a hammer, but I was afraid I was going to bend or screw up the mount.

I love that BFH 
answer , Im just always scared something is going to break. I was smacking the back of the mount and it seemed like it was getting a flat spot.
