    If you look at the PR ring, you will see two small cuts on opposite sides. You gently bend the PR ring at those two points until it slips inside the hole. You then bent it back flat before inserting the threaded pins into the 9/32" holes you drilled with the template.

    As for the MW ring, you'll have to either trim the brace or the ring, your choice.

    Mike I had one side that both the MWs rings had to be trimmed. The brace was actually past the hole about 1/16. No biggie though.
