I cant tell by the photo, but I'm hoping all of the lug nuts were on there, particularly the bottom one because those welded brackets aren't solely designed to take the force of the hand crank, they just steady the arm during the rollers rotation.

Also, the rings bunched up near the knob on the handle are spacers for your lug nuts that are flat on one side to provide a good amount of surface area and they are angle cut on the inside to match the surface of the lug nut. We provide these to prevent the base plate from bending or breaking.

Normally you wouldn't start pulling the lip outwards horizontally right away as shown in the photo. It may cause the quarter panel to dent above the wheel well. Instead you would start by mashing the lip vertically and then at a 45 degree angle, and then little by little work it flat against the inside skin of the quarter panel. After its flat, then you can start to flair the quarter panel out horizontally.

I am certainly at fault for not including instructions, so as I said before I will replace or refund - your choice.
