through the seam around the entire shroud, releasing it
from the housing.

Optional: If you choose to add the washer modification, between steps 11 & 12 is when you install it. To do so, place a small dab of silicone
grease inside the backing plate hub to hold the washer in place, insert the washer into the hub and press flat. Proceed installing the backing
plate as normal. Pay attention to how the backing plate hub lines up with the tool hub, if the two are not mated correctly backing plate failure
may occur. Using the 6mm Allen Wrench torque the backing plate stud until it is hand tight and has fully compressed the lock washer.

With the tab and notches lined up, begin working the new
shroud onto the plastic housing. Once the shroud is about
half way on, use your trim tool to stretch the rubber shroud
securely around the entire plastic housing.
10.
Double check that everything is installed correctly.
12.11.
Run a thin bead of silicone grease along the rim of the
shroud that will contact the backing plate.

Spread a thin layer of silicone grease over the top surface
of the backing plate (side opposite of the Velcro) and
re-install the backing plate onto the tool hub using the stud
and lock washer that you removed in step 2.
