I have never taken the bars off of mine, they came installed on the CB. I did have to put the pads on and just did like the video said and they went on ok. I do have one screw that is kinda "soft" if ya know what I mean. It has never came out but I know I turned it to hard putting it in. But I think from your post you are talking about the bars and not just the pads. Here is a pic of mine and hope they help.
