screw the punch on first and position and center to your liking then remove one screw at a time apply the loctite and rescrew in working in a cross cross pattern

Place the Loctite on the threads of the screw and insert the screw. Have a rag near at hand in case you slop the Loctite on the Puncher or barrel.

To be honest I did not need to use it. Once screwed on it was tight enough. But if you do want to use it, apply before. It will dry later

there was a threaded nut soldered into the base of mine. I just screwed the center post into it, put a drop of clear nail polish, and tightened it up. Mine works just fine. Hope this helped.

You hold the blue button down, do not let up, continue holding down and unscrew collet nut from the unit. After removing it, place it back on unit but do not tighten, leave very loose. Put tool with sander into silver thing still in unit as far as will go. Next tighten black collet nut and you should be ready to roll. Hope this helps someone!

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

My stock had a hole already drilled in it, and had a plastic plug in it. When I popped out the plug the hole that was there wasn't big enough for the supplied screw. So, I very carefully drilled the hole out the way the directions explained. As a precaution I put a little drop of PL adhesive in it. I'm never planning on taking that screw out and figured the PL would only strengthen the screw and hole. Hope this helps. MORE IMPORTANTLY....... Be careful with the Allen screw on the barrel end, that can strip out quite easily. Don't loosen and tighten it more than once or twice, and definately use some thread lock. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I am the person to ask but I do know there are two types of "LOC-TITE". One gets very hard and is difficult to get things apart and the other not so much. I would check with your local hardware store or the LOC-TITE" web site.

I used an impact driver to remove the screws. The company put thread locker on the screws when installed making them difficult if not impossible to remove by hand.

I received a response from the manufacturer: "It is a 1/4" x 20 pitch thread. Try a set screw. They hold much better over time."

That all depends on the wood that you are running them in to and your pilot hole size. I had to grind them off when I wanted to move the lock in my installation. I could not turn the screws. However, on the new installation I just used long 10/32 machine screws with self locking nuts. You can turn the screw head all you want and the nut will just spin in place and never fall off unless you get inside to the locked area and hold the nut with something. That solves the security problem. The screws were very long 4 inch screws that were long enough to go through a 2 x 4 piece of wood. Got them at a surplus place. If going into metal, you won't have a problem finding long enough screws. That all depends on the wood that you are running them in to and your pilot hole size.

Seriously about 5 seconds, simple, dont over tighten the screws, Use a small amount of vaseline on the oring and push it in and tighten the screws and that is about it. They are plastic threads so be seriously easy, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Hope this helps!

I used a very small allen wrench and used a lot of pressure. I didn't have a correct tool. I just tried my best to keep the opposite end still to tighten the screws. Ultimately one of the screws got lost, and I ended up replacing it with a small bolt and screwed a nut on and added epoxy glue.

The bolt and nylock nut may be to tight, just loosen both just enough that the arms move freely. The amount that you loosen them should be very minute at first and a small amount of some type of spray lube is okay too. The wood screws it came with should also be replaced with a higher quality screw And pre drill out the holes first before shooting screws into studs. I really like mine. Hope this helps.

If you have problems with the screw loosening, put a few drops of Loctite on the screw threads before tightening. You can buy a tiny tube of this at your local hardware store or auto parts store.

I think the MAIN tool you need is a second set of hands. I tried to do it by myself and, although the bolts have a great self aligning feature built in, I managed to mess up the threads. Luckily, I had a tap and chased the threads and finished the job without further incident. Oh, all the tools you will also need is a Torx screw driver (commonly called a 'star' screw driver.) The size if I'm not mistaking is a T40. I used the T40 bit and a little 1/4" ratchet, since the screws were pretty tight, especially after being in there for 13 years. As you can see it took me much longer than most, so I suggest you get a second set of hands, for a 10-20 minute job. :-) I think the MAIN tool you need is a second set of hands.

If you're referring to the tan plastic piece that goes on the top of the tool, it just threads on. Screw it on to the right. If you are referring to the clear portion, it snaps in place place with two tabs that have to be lined up to click in place.
