hmm i think i know what your talking about...heres what i did

place crowbar or similar shaped metal rod between any 2 of the 3 smaller surrounding bolts to anchor it and prevent it from rotating (i pushed mine into the grass for more support. then use a large socket wrench (i used a torque wrench) to tighten
