This is what your looking for, I had the same trouble then I found this post. I used a 4" pvc coupling and a big socket, worked great. You need at least the 1/16" Mark

Now I know that I have seen an article about straighting these adaptor plates somewhere on the interweb.

Its seems to be a pretty simple "get it flat" item but yet I have had one on and off 4 times now.

Even though I am going to purchase a new one,can somebody point me to this article?

Thanks,Oldmics
