I needed to tighten the blade on my model TS1340 Compound Miter Saw but I incorrectly removed the bolt which holds the lower blade guard (rather than screw B) and now I can't get the guard back on. The problem is that it's very difficult to feed the half inch bolt through the upper blade guard from the inside and keep the spring in the lower guard in place and then try to put on the nut. With the lower blade guard in position there's no way I can reach the bolt to hold it in position. And, even if I could the spring pops out. Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. Can you help? I can attach a photo if that would help show my current situation.
