5. Install a 5/16-18 nut-sert into each of
the holes that were drilled out to 17/32”.
Follow the procedure given in the separate
instruction sheet “Using the Nut-Sert Install
Tool”.
6. Temporarily install the Crusher Flare,
using the supplied 5/16-18 X 1 stainless
steel flat head cap screws, at each of the
hole locations where a Nut-Sert was installed
in the previous step. NOTE: this can be a
tedious process for correctly aligning the
flare, and getting it to properly seat all the
way around without gaps. Here is the method
we have found yields the best results: Begin
by installing the two rear-most cap screws.
Thread them in only a couple of turns. Then
pull the flare outward against the screw
heads, and install the forward-most screws,
followed by the remaining screws. Leave
all screws only threaded in a couple of turns
until all of them are installed that way. Then
slowly work your way around adding a turn
or two at a time, drawing the flare in to the
Jeep’s sheetmetal as evenly as possible.Do
not fully tighten the screws at this time, just
tighten them until the flare is firmly seated, as
they will be removed before the final install.
IMPORTANT! Do NOT over-tighten the flat head
cap screws, as you may accidentally “spin” the
Nut-Sert if you over-tighten!

7. With the flare temporarily installed and
aligned, note that there is one hole location
for which there was no existing hole in the
factory sheetmetal. It is located near the
top-left of the flare mount plate. We have
included an extra nutsert and flat head cap
screw for use in this location. Carefully mark
and center-punch this hole location.
8. Install the Front Inner Fender Bracket as
shown in Figure 5. Use the supplied 5/16-
18 X 3/4 SS button head cap screws with
nylon insert lock nuts to attach the bracket to
the back side of the Crusher Flare mounting
plate, between it and the pinch-weld flange
on the Jeep’s body (you won’t be able to
install the bolts through the Bracket into the
pinch-weld flange, as shown in the photo, at
this time).

9. Use a fine-tip felt marker and use the Front
inner Fender Bracket to mark the two holes
to be drilled into the pinch weld flange so two
more bolts can be installed in a later step.
10. Use a fine-tip felt marker to mark the two
holes to be drilled in the upper-rear corner,
where the two remaining (non-countersunk)
