Just went thru this 2 weeks ago. The bar had been on the vehicle for 15 yrs, took it off then it would not go back on. What I found was the chassis rails had flared a little after the bar was removed from the rails. I could see a slight mushrooming around the actual bolt holes. I simply took a grinder with a flap disk and knocked the top off the protrusions. The bar must go on exactly square or it jams. You can be sure it will fit unless its been given a hit or a pull at the wreckers. Its a PIA job, but it should slide on. You could also smear a little grease on the rails and ensure the surfaces are free from dirt and mud
