17. Use an open end wrench to hold the coupler nut

stationary while turning the head of the bolt clockwise

with a ratchet (or small impact wrench) and socket. As

you turn the ratchet, the bolt will draw the far end of the

nut-sert toward the inside of the sheet metal, gripping it

with the knurled outside edge of the nut-sert as it deforms.

Continue to turn the ratchet until the nut-sert is fully seated.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as you can damage the nut-sert,

or cause it to lose its grip.

18. Once the nut-sert has seated correctly, loosen the

bolt then remove it and the rest of the tool from the nut-sert.

Install a new nut-sert onto the tool, oriented the same as

the last, and set it aside until your next nut-sert installation.

19. With the tool removed, inspect the nut-sert to

make sure it is properly seated and that the surrounding

sheet metal isn’t excessively deformed. Note that some

deformation of the sheet metal is normal, and that it will be

covered by the part after installation.

If you “spin” a nut-sert: That is, if it loses its grip due to

over-tightening or improper installation, the quickest,

easiest x is to use a MIG welder to place a small

tack weld at the edge of the nut-sert ange. Before

applying the tack weld, sand or grind the paint from a

very small area of the sheetmetal where the tack weld

will be. Then insert a screw into the nut-sert to protect

the threads from weld splatter. Only apply a very small

tack or two, as you do not want to heat up and deform

the nut-sert or the sheetmetal. Then grind the tack(s)

smooth and apply touch-up paint to prevent rust.

20. Re-Install the ﬁnished Trail Corners using the

supplied stainless steel button head hardware.

IMPORTANT! Do NOT over-tighten the button head

cap screws, as you may accidentally “spin” the Nut-

Sert if you over-tighten!

21. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining side.

22. If re-using the OE taillights and license plate mount,

reinstall them by reversing the removal procedures from

the beginning of these instructions.
