As you'll recall, you installed a little Melamine spacer in the upper tower mounts. The hole in
the center is where you need to apply the tap. I would advise you lay the machine down to make this
operation simpler, unless of course you happen to be in excess of seven feet tall or really like ladders.
You can do this slowly and carefully by using a 5/32" hex tool, or you can be a complete nut
and do what John Oly does and use a drill.
If you DO decide to use a drill, you'd better make
REALLY sure you can control the speed because if you just
hammer that thing at full speed, you're going to make a great
bloody mess out of those poor spacers.
Either way, you're going to drive the screw into the hole
just as you would a normal wood screw. Keep it straight and take
your time. You really do not want to screw this up. (no pressure,
right?)
I'd love to show you an awesome photo of this whole process, but I cheated and used a tap, then
forgot to take a picture. I can however, show you a photo of what the location looks like. Well from
the underside...after it's done.. sigh
I've embarassed myself enough for the moment – go ahead and tap all three holes and let's move
along...
