1: Clean the top of the piers thoroughly, and ensure they are free of any oil or grease
deposits. Clean the threads of all base plate pier bolts with a wire brush, using a thread file
to restore any damaged threads. Lightly oil the threads, and ensure the threads are clean
and in good condition by running a threaded nut down and up the threads of the bolt.
Remove all nuts from the pier bolts.
2: Place several short lengths of wooden 2 X 4's or 4 X 4's in the center of the pier bolts.
