NOTE 2: When placing the box back in position, if it was necessary to drill a stake pocket, that "J" bolt will have to be held on an angle from the underside of the box and guided into the hole in the stake pocket.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING BLIND FASTENERS

WARNING

Prior to drilling, so as not to cut or puncture fuel tanks, fuel lines, brake lines, electric wires, etc., check under vehicle for locations.

Place a drop of oil on the black oxide bolt before assembling as shown on right. Place the Blind Fastener in the hole and use a 1/2 or 7/16 wrench to tighten black hex bolt until the blind fastener is fully seated. When setting black hex bolt, it will start out hard. As the Blind Fastener bulbs out it will get easier, until it bottoms out or sets. Make sure the Blind Fastener and Installation Tool do not turn during installation.
