One of them has a slot in it for the pulley. So you don't want to start throwing things together. Read the directions. So these just slide together. You are going to have to push on them a bit. They slide together and now it is permanently locked and we would to that to the rest of these. Now we have the rail assembly together we are going to attach it to the head. So we got a couple of winding screws on here that we need to take off. Put a bracket on and then we can attach that to the bracket. When ever you are tighten up a set of screws you just want to snug the first one slightly and then you can tighten the last one or if there is more then one just all of them loosely and then tighten them up.
