Or do I screw the drum onto the support after snapping the ball hitch into the nylon bearing? Previously I did the latter and now the screws have vibrated out(after 7 months) causing the drum to fall. I'm sure that the screws were tight. Should I use some locktight? I'm hoping that the threads or screws have not stripped in the process.
