@@jeffa847 Jeff, using a thrust washer is essentially putting ball bearings between the nut used for crushing the rivnut and the rivnut making the nut roll it’s way tighter instead of scraping against the nut to tighten it. It makes tightening the assembly easier and smoother. I hope that makes sense.

@@davidt8438 Yeah I think I see. So the thrust washer is made in such a way that there is less friction on both sides than a regular washer would have? I saw one video where they were using a thrust washer with copper(?) brass(?) - it was some kind of softer metal - and that didn't really make sense in this application.

A very useful video, thanks! I’ve used rivnuts for many years and have used a couple of kits with the pliers type installation tool, which are OK for smaller sizes, or the softer aluminium ones. For the larger sizes (above M6) this DIY type of tool works better because you can get more installation force. From personal experience I prefer the first method shown here because the bolt doesn’t turn in the rivnut during the installation so there’s less chance of damaging it, the rotation takes place between the threads of the installation bolt and the tube nut. If the rivnut thread does get damaged during installation you’ve completely wasted your time and will then waste even more time removing and replacing it (been there). Rivnuts which have loosened with use can also be reset with care using any of these methods but I’d always use the first one shown. 😊

@@MrTheHillfolk Yes, a few years ago I needed to take the body tub off the box section chassis of my kit car. It was held on by a number of factory fitted, 12mm rivnuts and one began to spin in the chassis when I tried to undo its screw. The only way to access the front of the rivnut was to take the body off….catch 22. I eventually managed to jam an old coarse file through the open end of the chassis tube which allowed me to put enough leverage on the rear of the rivnut to jam it and stop it spinning. Otherwise I would have had to cut the body tub apart in a critical area.since then I often seat a new rivnut with superglue in the hope that every little helps.

When you used the Nut Driver have you considered making a packing piece that will fit inside the Driver so you can use the Impact Driver to put pressure on the bolt head? Using a low profile socket may save having to make the packing piece to put inside the socket. The idea is to use the Drill or Impact Driver to help put pressure on the rivnut so it won't turn in the hole. I hope this makes sense. *Thank You* for the methods of "cinching" the rivnut up without needing a specific tool.

Tried it. It works so long as the little ribs on the rivnut grab the hole rim. If not the nut spins and won't crush. The larger the rivnut (M10 etc) the more likely to spin as the force required to crush is greater than the friction between the metals. Make sure the hole is tight. You see some people pull the bolt down on an angle to get grip on the inner rim of the hole to get the crush going. My advice. Works for smaller nuts and make sure the hole is tight. For $69 I ended up just buying the tool for M10's (13mm).

That method is a recipe for a spun rivnut, ask me how I know… Use the first method if space is tight or use the dual/single handle compression style both pull the rivnut instead of driving the bolt. If anyone knows any other “pull” style tools I’m all ears.

I have a scenario where I can't see the other side, as I need to install a rivnut into an enclosed aluminum square tube/beam underneath the bottom of my camper/trailer. It seems the best option would be to go with one of the first two since I could feel the tightness of the rivnut against the inside if the beam, so that I make sure not to over-tighten it. I could probably use an impact driver but I'd have to practice on a test piece that I can see the other side of, to know how many rotations is good.

Hi Deloris, the assumption that I can make from your description is that the holes in your van might be a bit too big for the rivnuts that you are inserting. They can therefore not grip properly when crushed together. I hope this helps a bit.

Check to see if the rivnut is a steel one or aluminum made one because the steel rivnuts are much harder to compress .

In my experience, method #2 and #3 are not so repeatably successful. It's easy to get it right while making a yt video in a test environment but not so repeatably successful in the real world, when you want to get a number of nuts in and have to spend ages holding everything in and pushing just right with your hands. I use a method like your method #1 but I put three smooth washers between the long nut and the rivnut, with a really tiny amount of grease in between. They easily absorb any rotational movement before it ever reaches the rivnut.

There is a measurement and a proper tool for it, it is called grip length. Thickness of material, then the proper rivnut is used

can rivnuts be used to make bolt holes smaller? like if i have a m8 bolt but the bolt hole is more like m10 can i use a m8 rivnut in the hole so i can use the m8 bolt. since using a bigger bolt isnt really feasible in my application and i dont have the skill to weld the bolt hole closed and drill it to the correct m8 size.

Preferably not, the rivnut will not grip properly in that application. I would recommend ising a repair sleeve. It's a sleeve with thread on the inside and outside. Usually used to repair damaged thread , but can be used when the hole is too big as well. Thanks for your support! 👌🏻

I also prepared everything, but I did not get any results. Because the rivet nut of all the washers and the support nut was rotating and it was not fixed and riveted in the hole, and no matter what I did, I did not succeed.

Maybe try to apply more pressure on the rivnut so that geips the face of the material better. I hope you win!

The two washers helps to reduce the friction between the tubenut and the face of the rivnut. You can also put a little grease or oil between the washers to reduce the friction even more.

You will need to apply pressure on the surface of the rivnut, or your hole is too big for the rivnut in question. You can also bulge the rivnut slightly before inserting it. Hope this helps! 👌
