Aluminium as they are more forgiving for errors in fitting than steel. They need less " pull up" force to set them correctly. Make sure when you are pulling them up that the tool is perpendicular to the frame. Use anti seize when fitting the cage retaining screws.

The correct drilling size for M5 nutserts is 7.1mm, try to get as close to this as possible, a little smaller is better than larger.

Neat, appreciate the tips. Hopefully will get this organised at the weekend, work permitting. Have a 7mm bit, will start with that and @PhilDAS's wheelhub tool recommend.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
