Help! Roller problems

[Ida]

I just got my Freedom back from the shop and was going to put the rollers back on. The silver metal middle is sticking out on one end, but not the other. Does the silver rod in the middle extend the length of the black metal roller? Meaning, if I hammer one end, should the other end come out of that end? I've tried that but nothing is budging.

I'm so frustrated that I even looked to see if APQS sells roller bars in their parts store. They don't have them listed online, so no luck there. If the silver metal rod does not run the entire length, could I, should I, buy some rods to push into the ends with no rod sticking out? 

Unable to use my machine until I can solve this...

Frustrated in Kansas,

Ida

Ida, that silver extension fits into the "eye bolt" at one end of your table. There is a separate large bolt that goes through the "eye bolt" on the other end - it screws into the end of the roller that DOESN'T have the silver extension. If you still have your assembly instructions, you can go to the section for adding the rollers - all the info is there. There is also a silver collar that serves as a spacer between the "eye bolt" and the end of the roller, on the screw-in bolt end. You can get more help - and lots of photos - if you visit the We Love APQS Facebook page and ask for help there.

Update! Dumb blond award... I asked my husband for help. He was smart enough to look inside the open end and see screw lines inside. So...there is no metal rod that sticks out of that end. He pointed to the other bar that had a screw in the end. Duh! So, thank you for the help that I don't need. 

Relieved and feeling sheepish in Kansas,
