be installed here, but ﬁrst this hole must be drilled and a

nut-sert installed.

Drill the hole to 17/32”.

8. Install a 5/16-18 Nut-Sert into the hole that was

just drilled in the previous step.

NOTE: It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to invest in a

professional nut-sert installation tool, such as the Marson

Giant Threadsetter, available from online tool sellers. The

professional tool will make the installation of nut-serts

MUCH easier than using the free tool included in this kit,

and it will come in handy with future product installations as

well. If using a professional nut-sert installation tool, follow

the directions that came with the tool and skip the next three

steps of these instructions.

The simple “tool” included with this product is admittedly

frustrating to use, however it will work for those with

patience who would like to save the cost of purchasing the

professional tool. If using the simple tool included with this

product, continue through the following steps (ignore that

the photos show a different product—the procedure is the

same).

9. The provided nut-sert install tool consists of a bolt,

two washers and a coupler (long) nut. Assemble these

items as shown (bolt—washer—coupler nut—washer—

nut-sert). Insert the nut-sert end into the hole you drilled.

10. Use an open end wrench to hold the coupler nut

stationary while turning the head of the bolt clockwise

with a ratchet (or small impact wrench) and socket. As

you turn the ratchet, the bolt will draw the far end of the

nut-sert toward the inside of the sheet metal, gripping it

with the knurled outside edge of the nut-sert as it deforms.

Continue to turn the ratchet until the nut-sert is fully seated.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as you can damage the nut-sert,

or cause it to lose its grip.

11. Once the nut-sert has seated correctly, loosen the

bolt then remove it and the rest of the tool from the nut-sert.

Install a new nut-sert onto the tool, oriented the same as

the last, and set it aside until your next nut-sert installation.

Inspect the nut-sert to make sure it is properly seated and

that the surrounding sheet metal isn’t excessively deformed.

Note that some deformation of the sheet metal is normal,

and that it will be covered by the part after installation.
