Hello C.A.G. and BIll, Seems that the split-nuts should be color coded for the sake of Legacy, if not us. I'll call them tomorrow. I'm on the east coast of the USA, in Maryland.
Bill, thanks for the tip on checking the rails. Since I hit this snag, I read the manual (which I normally would read, but who reads when you have a video?), and they mention that one rail is marked and should be the back rail. It's not, which might explain what appears to be an alignment problem that might wear down the bushings as Tim warns.
