FIRSTGARD™HINGE REPLACEMENT
Lower the disconnected panel (A2) between the two banded
panels (A1 and A3) and close all of the panels together. Align the
round barrel on the hinge components.
Assess if the current nylon pin (C) is intact. If the barbs or pin are
not as shown, using a 7/16” wrench, finger-tighten weld nut (B) on
top of the nylon pin—flange side up. Grip the flange with pliers and
tighten it an additional ¼ turn past finger-tight.
Insert the nylon pin (C) into the barrel of the hinge. The weld nut (B) should be on the top of the cone and the barbs of the nylon pin should
point towards the bottom. Note: Be sure the nylon pin is going through the hinge component’s round barrel rather than the open hinge
cavities.
