Those are tricky. They hide if they hear you coming.

Well I managed to sneak up on them and caught them right where you said
they'd be!!

One washer added to each side and I'm rub free! Since I was only using one,
I decided to go with a lockwasher. Now that bolt will never come loose on
its own. That and I just happened to have the right size lockwashers
hanging around... Thanks for the tip!!
