Step 2:
- Loosen hex bolts labeled 1 on image below.
- Follow by removing the outside cosmetic hub by loosening arrow 2 (Interior recess).

Be sure to hold cosmetic hub while loosening bolt!
Step 3:
- Using a 7/16 socket, lightly loosen 4 nuts below and adjust side panel as necessary to be flush with base plate.
This should clear up the front panel resting proud of the side panels.
Step 4:
- Once side panels are aligned with base plate, tighten the four (4) bolts in a radial pattern to ensure proper fit.
- Reassemble panels.

Slight adjustments may be required for all panels to ensure a clean alignment.
