I would definitely ease the back of the lug as Mr.Legg suggested. A fine file and a few thou worth of metal can make a great difference. Personally I would avoid dicking w/ the locking recesses. Once metal is gone it is pretty tricky to put it back. And not having the right tool or even experience ..... hmmmmm. I'm sure Cole's has made a tidy sum fixing what have become way expensive repair jobs made so by wannabees. Aside from the cleaning part I know I would avoid the bolt fitting process that was outlined above.

JMO of course but remember what Dirty Harry said.
