Removing and replacing a Tee-nut is simple and requires about 10 minutes effort. Rotate the wall until the
panel is at the bottom. This will give access the Tee-nuts on the back of the panel.
Removing old Tee-nut:
If the damaged Tee-nut is still imbedded in the panel, thread a 3/8" hold bolt into the Tee-nut and tap the
Tee-nut directly out of the back of the panel with a hammer.
If the Tee-nut is spinning loose so that you cannot thread into it, simply drive it out with the bolt.
Placing New Tee-nut:
Notice that the Tee-nuts have three prongs which insert into the back of the panels. When
replacing the damaged Tee-nut, rotate the prongs to enter the panel in a different orientation
than the old Tee-nut. This will ensure that the prongs of the new Tee-nut enter new and fresh
panel wood and lock itself into the panel.
The new Tee-nut is inserted as shown in the diagram. Put the bolt through the hold and panel,
and thread on the new Tee-nut. Use the Vice-grips to hold the Tee-nut and orient it so that the
prongs enter new wood. Tighten the bolt with the Allen wrench until the Tee-nut is drawn fully
into the panel and flush with the surface.
