I'm not 100% sure I agree with these instructions. Every other rivnut I've ever set required you to set the nut (Collapse into frame) using a special tool (you can make one from hardware store parts) and then insert the bolt for fastening.

1. Place the dual cam bracket on the
frame at the correct spot for your
installation. See dual cam instructions.
2. Use the long ½” bolt to clamp the
bracket in position.
3. Using the holes in the bracket as a
guide, drill two 7/16” holes into the
frame.
4. Remove the bracket and drill the
holes out to 11/16”. Do not ream out
the hole. This needs to be a snug fit.
5. Put the Rivet Nuts into the holes in
the frame.
6. Place the bracket over the rivet nuts,
thread the ½-13 x 1-1/2 hex head
bolts with lock washers into the holes.
7. Tighten the long ½” bolt against the
frame, ½ turn after contact with the
frame.
8. Tighten the ½” bolts on the outside of
the frame.
9. Torque to 75 ft. lbs.
