Rotisserie question

[bernux]

I don't know if I missed something but the rotisserie kit is 2 or 3 millimeters too long to be able to put it in the kk's right hole

Any help would be really appreciated because I start to think that I'll have to cut the screw thread of the second part of left one

I test fit the rotisserie for the first time yesterday and was thinking the same. You have to push hard on the left side to compress the spring there to get it to fit. Did it for me, at least.

Halfsmoke is correct.  I think all of us new owners have this issue, or at least a couple of us me included.

Yesterday I used my 2 hands to compress without success, I will give it a new try later

I had cooked on mine for several years before getting the basket, so I followed Dennis' suggestion and squirted some WD-40 in there to loosen the gunk up. That freed up the spring, but I still had the same problem you guys do, my square rod was about 1/4" too long. Had my neighbor shave it down with his Dremel. Fits like a glove now. He said that it was fairly soft to cut and wasn't a big problem.

 I certainly cannot speak for all but in my case I definitely had to cut the right side bolt/shaft down in order to insert into the right side wall of the KK.  In fact I had to do it twice because I have the large roti basket with the reducer and the first cut I made was based upon the center mount (for use w/o reducer).  So that worked just fine and then for the heck of it I tried the other fitting meant to be used with the reducer in place and found that my bolt/shaft was too long to fit in that use configuration.  Clearly there was an issue with the depth of the basket sockets for lack of a better way to phrase it.

I had to cut just shy of an eighth of an inch to make it fit.

I try everything and I think next step is the cut.
I was afraid to be the only one with such trouble.
Thanks all

I'll be honest, I see all these posts with different rotisserie problems. For the most part my rotisserie setup went together and worked straight out of the gate. The only thing I needed to do was loc-tite the connections. Hasn't given me any problems since.

I agree with ckreef. There's a certain amount of adjustment you can do to make it fit. But in the end, it fits like it should without cutting.
