Great swing away, butttttt it took me 4 hours to install. Online they said easy 2hour installation. It took me 2hours to drill 16 holes. Man it sucks getting old, now everything takes twice as long to do.
I put the same on my galvanized trailer (https://plus.google.com/photos/105379...4272092014). It took me like 20 minutes for the first 2 holes, even with titanium coated drill bits and starting small. Then I get mad and grab a good step drill bit and it took 30 sec. each for the 16 remainning ones.

Wow, don't remember it taking that long - I think I was well under 2 hours for the whole thing. I confess I took the cut-off tongue piece over to the drill press, which was easier.
The best part of the process for me was when my son arrived home as I was hacksawing off the tongue - the look on his face was priceless.
