Mine did I just had to adjust the angle mid insertion

Guys it's off. It doesn't matter how slow and what angle or hole I enter first it's off. Can't believe it

There is no way I'm forcing rear peg in I'd rather drill hole larger. Any opinions on opening rear hole larger with drill? I just don't know how secure he would be on octopus. The front peg has huge block wedge that takes most of pressure and balancing for this this piece.

Before you start drilling, try using a blow dryer on that exact ankle.
Keep it close enough to make it heat up a little.
Don't keep it so close it will damage paint.
After every minute, put some pressure on the ankle and try if the peg fits.
If it doesn't, use the blow dryer longer and heat up a little more of the leg.
It will fit in the end just fine.

How the heck do you get him out after it's installed and cooled. I'm actually stunned it's my first XM the thing is off it shouldn't be. Two thousand for this piece come on XM

put some vaseline on the peg...light application...and then like Nemesis said try to slide the foot down at different angles. Does the front foot have a peg as well? if not it should fit.
