Place the crash cage on the top
of the receiver case so the bolt
holes in the cage line up with
the
smaller holes
on the
receiver.
STEP 4
Coat the bolts with a
light
layer of
grease, such as Never-Seez®
with Molybdenum (lubrication
only) or Loctite® 567 (lubricates
and locks), to prevent “galling”
from occurring. “Galling”
essentially welds the nuts and
bolts together and they will not
come apart.
STEP 5
Place one of the flat
washers and split lock
washers on the end of
the bolt.
Finger-tighten the
titanium nut with locking
insert onto the bolt.
Repeat Steps 6 and 7
until all the bolts and
washers are in place.
STEP 7
Slide the hexbolt through the hole
in the cage, through the lid, and
through the collar.

Move to the nut and bolt directly opposite the first
nut and bolt and repeat Step 8.
Continue tightening the
bolts, two or three
half turns each, as
numbered in the
photo here until
the bolts are snug
but not over
tightened.
STEP 9
Place a 3/8”socket
wrench on the top of
a bolt. There are six
such bolts around the
circumference of the
VR4-UWM.
Place a 7/16” wrench
on the nut at the
bottom of the bolt to
hold the nut in place.
Use the socket to
tighten the bolt
three
or four half turns
.
