Make sure they aren't spread. If they are, put the nuts on them and gently squeeze on the nuts in a vice (ouch) until it fits correctly.

They are spread for sure! I just was not sure if I could put them in a vice and squeeze them in some without messing them up. I will put them in the vice and get to putting them back on!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
