I think I ended up ruining a few of them, and had to buy some more from another member that had some extras...
If you really have problems, you can coat the exterior of the nutsert with locktight and then jam it in to the hole and hold it there long enough for the locktite to setup. This way, there is less chance that the nutsert will spin as you try to back out the nut that locks it in place. The nutsert spinning and not seating properly was the biggest problem that I had. If you can find somebody that has a nutsert puller, the actual tool you are supposed to use, that will make the whole effort much easier. Maybe a tool shop or automotive store by you rents that kind of stuff?
You should be able to tell when the nutsert is properly seated as it will be really tight in the hole. You won't be able to spin it or rock it back and forth at all. |
