Yes ! The mounting of 2950 and 2960 series really, _really_ suck !
Sometimes moving the vertical mounting bars is not an options ...  then 
the hammer will be your friend :(
The mounting system for 7200 NPE-G1 is also a tricky one. The router is 
very heavy, but the whole weight is resting on two tinny screws.  

I guess any data center should have a mechanical shop and every sysadmin 
a big hammer :)
