CAUTION
Tools used to install a grommet will
be compatible with the size and type
of grommet as cited in table 3-5.
1. Insert  the  barrel  of  the
replacement grommet through the accommodating hole
in the material and insure the grommet flange is located
on the same side of the material as the original
grommet.
2. Position the grommet on a
suitable sized die with the barrel facing up and place the
applicable washer over the grommet barrel.
NOTE
When installing a flat grommet by the
hand-held
method,
insure
the
grommet  barrel  and  washer  are
alined to preclude off-center setting
of the grommet.
3. Using a suitable sized punch
and a rawhide mallet (fig.  3-43) or other non-steel
impact  device,  spread  the  grommet  barrel  by
hammering until the barrel collar is rolled down smooth
on the washer. If the grommet barrel splits during the
hamering process, remove and replace the installed
grommet  with  a  serviceable  item  from  stock,
subsequently repeating the procedures in 1 and 2
above.
