I've purchsed some projecting anchor bolts to enable me to put a heavy

load
on a wall (TV to be precise).

As I'm a complete newbie at DIY I drilled the first 16mm hole this

evening.
I then proceeded to put the anchor bolt into the hole. The problem I found
was that the thicker end of the anchor bolt would not go fully into the

hole
and I ended up having to use a hammer to knock the bolt in. I'm certain

this
can't be the right way. So was wondering if anyone could give me some

advice
on how I'm supposed to install anchor bolts.

The type of bolt I'm talking about can be seen here.

Thanks for any help

It's possible that the expanding part is already partly expanded. Make sure
that you slacken off the nut before inserting the bolt.
