I need one to install my pros pick tailgate latch kit. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | you can use a bolt & nut-pretty easy to do once you figger it out. thread a bolt w/a nut & lockwasher into the nutsert,insert into the sheetmetal hole. Hold the bolt from turning while turning the nut w/another wrench, this will collapse the nutsert. Hard to explain,,but it works, the lockwasher helps keep the nutsert from turning. I installed many Aerostar roof racks this way, they even had instructions from Ford never mentioning a "proper" tool. brian | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | McMaster-Carr has them!

Turns out harbor freight has one for $17 and Eastwoods has another for about $25 so I will go one of those routes.

I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
