So the inside of the guide rail pins are threaded so a bolt can thread into the inside of the pins? When you have a blot threaded in built up with washers, would you still turn it clock-wise as if you were tightening it to pull out the pins?
Thanks

yes. just make sure the washers are big enough on the inside to allow the pin to pull out. good luck, chuck.

I would strongly recommend insuring that your all thread is bottomed out in the pin. You do not want to pull the threads out which can happen if you have only partial thread contact.

Also, use hardened washers - you don't want them to collapse as you put pressure on them.
