Pumpkin Installing

Installing this pumpkin seems to be a task. I know it is not going to slide right in. The pumpkin has to slide over the bolts perfectly in order to go on. I dont want to damage the threads. Any tips?

Do you have one of the small floor jacks? Lifting the chunk with one and rolling it in is easier than hand lifting, but I agree with John da picker, it usually isn't a problem.
