installing twist lock assembly help asap

[jeradn325]

im installing the twist lock assembly on the ule rail on my emag and i cant get it to go down far enough any ideas???

[GhillieGuy]

When i was intalling mine they said i needed a certain kind of press (i dont remember, call AGD). I seemed to get it in by using a pair of plyers...

Maybe you could try C-Clamps or something. (I know I'm going to have to do it myself.)

I put a twistlock in an Omega rail by using the drill press at work. I put a nut driver in the chuck that went around the pin in the center but contacted the edges around it. It went in quite easily using that method.

Thanks guys i figured it out

I used a drill and file and drilled out a little bit then filed down the twist lock assembly and it went right in.

[GhillieGuy]

That probably wasnt the best way being that it might come right out...

[jeradn325]

I didnt drill that much, and its still stuck in there good

[GhillieGuy]

As long as it dont move it'll be fine...:)

you needed to use an arbor press, but what i did w/ mine was just used a small metal dowel as a punch and tapped it in w/ a hammer....guess i'm too late for you guys, but for future refrence
