Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with threaded fastener tooling. Ensure the receiving component is clean and free of debris before seating the mandrel. Use appropriate hand tools or a torque wrench to engage the 5/16-18 thread without over-tightening. Do not force the mandrel into an undersized or damaged pilot hole.
