Installation Instructions
- Remove the saddle from bracket
- Apply JBWeld to the inside of the post
- Align the bracket
- Pound the bracket lightly into the post with a rubber hammer just enough to slightly stabilize it
- Slide in a thick piece of steel like shown in the picture and tap this introduced piece mallet until it is completely inserted.
NOTE: If the bracket doesn’t align properly you can pound it out using a 1” rod from the bottom of the post. Be careful not to hit any of the tube threading while inserting the rod. Do this over a piece of cloth so that they bracket does not get scratched when it is pounded out.
