Side delivery rake

[42acres]

I am looking for suggestions on installing a new tooth bar on a wheel driven side delivery rake. The threaded part broke off of one of the bars and i have a new one. I have loosened every bolt on it and can't get it to fit in the holes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Darn near impossible I believe. I slotted the hole. :roll: I'm sure their is a right way to do it. Only thing I didn't try was to lossen all of the bar mounts. (Wasn't that important to fix this junky rake) Would like to know myself.
