I found this little video on how to install them but I still had issues.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tIhEqoKE8Dc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"210\" height=\"158\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>My issue was that I couldn&#8217;t get the threaded insert out of the wood when I tried to. After experimenting I found out that the type of wood is very important for choosing what drill to use when making a hole. On a piece of scrap wood, a 9 mm drill was excellent for drilling a hole for my threaded insert. I could easily insert and remove the threaded insert. But when I tried this on a maple neck, no way I could remove the threaded insert.<\/p>\n<p>But when I used a slightly bigger drill (9.5 mm), everything worked fine. Removing the threaded insert was a piece of cake.<\/p>\n<p>So always give it a try on a piece of scrap wood of the same type you will finally install the threaded inserts. And if removing doesn&#8217;t work, try a slightly bigger drill.<\/p>\n<p>High quality wood drills in almost all sizes can be found at www.baptist.nl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few tips I stumbled upon.
