The machining was not done right so it would not seat. Couldn't seem to install the cotter key in the lower joint. Didn't realize what was going on until I tightened the top joint and the top joint was pulled from its seat.

I heard that there was a fire at the factory that makes the Tread Saver. Tread Saver is owened by Federal mogul.
Maybe these should be recalled.
