Installing new springe hinge on Large

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
My Autolok hinge broke and I just ordered the new springe hinge for my large BGE. I have been reading about some difficulties installing the new hinges and bands. What should I be aware of? Does anyone have access to instructions or will they come with the hinge. My egg is about 4 yr. old and has the old China bands (handle welded on). I was a little surprised there was no warranty on the autolok hinge.[p]Thanks for any help!

    kilo,instructions are in the box.Basically,first attach the hinge mechanism to one band, then to the other band. Next attach the BGE wooden handle to the front top band and make sure the wording "BGE" is upright. Position the little band nubs in the front cavity in the egg and tighten up the bolts alternately, a turn on the top, then a turn on the bottom. You want to have no gaps in your seal.
