Nipple DRILLING INSTALLATION:
The insert sleeve is symmetrical, with two protruding nipple pins.
Insert a #55 drill bit (or a finishing nail of the same diameter) into each nipple's drill guide hole before centering the insert into the feed slot.
Lightly hammer the drill bit to make a mark into the aluminum back web.
Remove the insert to center punch the drilling locations. First, use 1/8" drill bits, then finish drilling holes with a 3/16" drill bit. Hand twist a larger drill bit in the holes to remove burrs.
Nipple pins of the nylon insert will key into the holes to prevent unintentional sliding of the insert.
REMOVAL:
Top & Bottom ends of the insert sleeve have outer edge notches. Squeezing notches together with needle-nose of hemostat plyers makes it easy to pull the insert up & out.
