that m16 rod you used was too long, thus the bind. I used a m16 bolt from Ace Hdw when I put mine on...it was 6" long I'm pretty sure....I have it in my tool box, I'd have to go measure it. I would never torque it down with a starter bolt like that. We got it in then put the GM original bolt back in and torqued it, then removed it. And reinstalled the new one at torque.
