Place a drop of oil on the
black oxide bolt before
assembling as shown at
right. Place the Blind
Fastener in the hole and
use a 1/2” or 7/16”
wrench to tighten black
hex bolt until the blind
fastener is fully seated.
When setting black hex
bolt, it will start out hard.
As the Blind Fastener
“bulbs” out it will get
easier, until it bottoms
out or sets. Make sure
the Blind Fastener and
Installation Tool do not
turn during installation.
