FOR INSTALLATION ON DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY FAQ's STEP 8) Install the larger part of the shock on the top ball mount. How does a nutsert/blind nut work? The nutsert (blind nut) is the hardware that will be installed into the tailgate. As you turn the nut on the install tool, the nutsert begins to mushroom and spread out. As the fingers expand, the threads are moving closer to the edge of the tailgate to attach the mounting point for the Tailgate Assist.
