I Didn't Realize Rivnuts Were This Easy... (How To Use Rivnuts)

[@robertbowling8393]

Thank you for sharing this! You explained in more detail the stroke adjustment, which frankly is my only hang-up with understanding the operation. I recently purchased an Akktol BT-607 kit through Amazon. After viewing several systems, it looked like the best one for the money. I've tried to understand stroke settings by reading the owned/user manual that came with it ...... BUT it keeps leaving me confused all over again. Lol .... Getting the initial setting right so I won't end up pulling the threads or damaging the rivnut, mandrels or tool itself is my concern .... I'm sure tho as with you, the best way to learn is to just start using it. This tool is one that most guys will probably only use occasionally, but one that if we own is priceless. Anyways, your video explained it much better than any I watched previously. BTW, as for your skid plate under your vehicle, i'd use a stainless rivnut since it's located down where it's catching road spray etc. I ordered an extra asset Iof nuts in standard metal, plus an assortment of stainless as well. Tnnx again for sharing.

i have/had the exact same question as you. as a diy guy im not trained and learn on the job. i found with using rivnuts. To protect my shoulders and ensure i dont strip the rivnut threads, i do smaller crimps 2-3 times. And this ensures i dont over crimping the rivnut and stripping the thread!

All right power steering fluid everywhere that's a sign of a new video coming up next😄

[@Rythecarguy]

Haha definitely not next week but it will absolutely be a video! Right now the Titan is driving my camper around the country. No place or time to replace the steering rack

[@mikemorgan4670]

See it used but didn't fully understand it. Now I do! Nice tutorial.

[@Rythecarguy]

Thanks!

@@mikemorgan4670 I've been on break. We moved back to Michigan but we're still wintering in Florida. I'm finishing my new studio and workshop space as we speak. Videos will probably start back up in April.

I used ez-lok threaded sleeves for the skid plate bolt holes on my xterra. Worked great and had to be pretty easy since I could do it.

[@Rythecarguy]

😅

[@podnucmo5]

Sooo much more simple than I assumed!

[@Rythecarguy]

IKR!? Imma use these suckers everywhere. We should have used these on your rear rack. Still can actually lol

[@ryankazmierczak448]

Certainly a value added tool for nissan repairs. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Rythecarguy]

For sure, I'm excited to try it with other stuff too

Topic idea for Video: Xterra Manual or Automatic - flow chart of logic to diagnose/fix if off road and Xterra motor won't start. What are the parts one should carry for the possible situations with a no start condition and the tools to install those parts. Of course this assumes the battery is ok and the person is carrying a starter pack for when the battery is run down. Good video on the Riv-Nuts, cool fastener that holds well. I see this tool used a lot in Van build outs for the interior construction.

[@Rythecarguy]

Love this idea. Thanks for the input

[@cilvrwing]

Have the same problem with an armada, time to buy this tool...ty

[@Rythecarguy]

You're welcome, thanks for watching man. I love the tool so far. Let's see how it holds up.

[@RaloohMurphy]

Ry I have an 06 xterra, 05 Titan, & 18 Rogue. Your videos are great & I appreciate you. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten my AIRBAG LIGHT fixed in the Titan. It drives me crazy. Also the rear door speaker housing is a lil frustrating. Any videos on that?

[@saleplains]

the muscle fucking of the first rivnut attempt spoke to my soul

[@Rythecarguy]

That's how I roll! Fuck it up the first time and then do it right. 😂

[@247chiranjeevi]

hi! thank you so much for the video. i have a question. ive been using rivet nuts for light duty applications, say like mounting the number plate , or a hinge. but, can i use this for heavy duty industrial applications, like say to attach legs for a table that takes 1000kgs on it. where i would put the screw horizontally, and the screw is loaded in the shear mode.

Sir I have a 2006 Xtera off road. I need a new catalytic converter on bank 2 I don't know if you've ever video changing a catalytic converter but I live in Central Florida and if you would be interested in videotaping it I could use the help IM me if you could help a guy out. I am on disability and I can't afford to pay a mechanic to do it

[@AC-pg9ws]

How do you find out what stroke length for a particular rivnut? The smaller mandrals like a M3 can’t take a lot force or else it will break.

[@Rythecarguy]

I just use a piece of scrap steel and set the stroke pretty long then I can see both sides and adjust it down until it's tight.

[@heliwrecker8649]

Plus nuts are even stronger

[@Rythecarguy]

Nice! Looks like I can use the same gun too right?

[@heliwrecker8649]

@Ry the car guy should be able to. You may need to get a slightly longer mandrel (at least the Threaded part), or you might be able to do it with 2 shorter pulls instead of one

[@ike621]

I was coming here to disagree with your title but that tool is cheating when installing rivnuts!

[@Rythecarguy]

Haha what do you normally use?

[@ike621]

@@Rythecarguy we use Blue Pneumatic Rivet Nut Tool. It has to be calibrated for aviation use. Yours looks easier to control the stroke but you still have to get a feel for how much resistance before you blow out the rivnut.

[@Rythecarguy]

@@ike621 Oh yeah I'm sure mine is a much more dumbed down version than yours. This one is "consumer level" lol.

[@ike621]

@@Rythecarguy but I also have to congratulate you on stepping out of your comfort zone and tackling this fear.
