Abstract
A method of assembling a receiver assembly includes positioning a retainer and an insert into a through-space of a receiver that extends between a bottom opening and an upper opening, such that a second channel of the insert is in non-alignment with a first channel of the receiver. The through-space includes at least one integral downward facing surface and an integral inward projecting surface. The insert includes side structures for contacting internal surfaces of the through-space of the receiver. The method further includes rotating the insert within the through-space of the receiver so as to align the second channel with the first channel for receiving a rod, to move the side structures of the insert into an overlapping arrangement with the inward projecting surface of the through-space that maintains substantial alignment between the second channel and the first channel, and to move one or more upward facing surfaces of the insert into contact with the one or more integral downward facing surfaces of the receiver that limits the insert from moving towards the upper opening in the receiver.
