 but I still say the toughest part for me was the

Hi Ron and Gang

After building several K2's I found a good way to install the tilt stand:

 Install the front screw on each foot but do not tighten the screws yet. Then 
slip the ends of the stand into the slots in the feet. This is easy to do 
because the feet can rotate to lessen the spring tension. Next holding the 
panel so the feet are on top, drop the back screw for each foot into the foot 
and twist the foot by pressing on the side of the foot with your thumb (or 
use pliers) to allow the screw to drop into the hole on the bottom panel. 
Install the washer and nut and tighten all of the hardware.
