You have to apply really good pressure to make the threads grab. do it the old school way... turn slightly to the left then presure and push to the right... it should grab. I had a little problem getting them to go in to, but they just took a little elbow grease and time.

thats not my problem! my problem is that the bolts i got with my lower tie bar are to small and go through the threads, its not that they barely fit. idk why the bolts go right through the original thread pattern, without even touching the threads?

Weird. My guess would be to use the OEM bolts and maybe drill the lower bar holes to accomodate the OEM bolts. Otherwise you might call DC up and have them send you the correct bolts.
