again I think it has a manufacturing fault!
For anyone who missed the previous chapter, here it is:

This is the follow-up:
It has taken over a week to arrange collection of the old mixer which I had to dismantle some parts. I had the trouble of carrying the drum, frame and motor as a whole to the delivery person's car from inside the house last night. I helped him carry the new Belle minimix 140 into my house. I was certain that everything would be fine now and that I'd have the new mixer assembled within an hour. It's a little hard to explain what has happened (anyone who has assembled a Belle should know what I'm talking about though). I have some pictures here to demonstrate what I mean:
The bolt as shown in the picture has not been screwed flush as opposed to the bolt shown in the following picture. Therefore, I assume this will cause problems later on when the drum is turning? There is no way I can tighten it anymore and I don't think I can loosen it either as it's extremely awkward to use a spanner. I have tried using my fingers too, but again it doesn't tighten nor loosen.
It seems like the product hasn't been checked before dispatch... AGAIN! I'm really not surpised .
What do you think I should do? I was thinking of continuing assembly and seeing how the mixer runs. Does anyone know how I could tighten the screw?
