Fastener
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.
