yea? i had the same problem. so i went out to the store and got allen key ones. then i STILL COULDNT GET IT ON cause the pocket everyday allen set that flips open wont give you enough space to tighten them down you need one with a long shank. i got the hex heads on there i put the bolts on the socket and threaded them in sideways and they walked themselves in straight and somehow didnt slip off i guess i got lucky.

Time to go buy some tools... They make sockets that have allen shafts made on them (and you can get long ones too). Discount sets are probably as fine as the high dollar ones and are about $8 for a set of ~10 sizes... Plus you have no idea what torque you're tightening to with a hand held allen of one of those flip sets.

i just changed mine to macunderdrives 2 days ago and had to get the allen bolts. just bring your stock bolt with you to hardware andthread it on a nut this will establish size and thread pitch. then jus find a hardened allen head bolt of same size,thread pitch,and length. i would reccomend never siezing the bolts before installation or locking washer. i spent a total of $4.76 on mine and that was with the locking washers.
