Step-by-step guide to installing Redcat RER15732 2x4mm pan head hex screws on the BED DANCER, with checkpoints to avoid stripped threads and lost hardware.
Quick answer
To install Redcat RER15732, remove the old 2x4mm screws from the BED DANCER, clean the mounting holes, start each new screw by hand, and tighten in a cross pattern until snug—do not overtighten. Use the 12-piece set to replace only the screws you removed.
Why the right screw matters on the BED DANCER
RER15732 is a 12-piece set of 2x4mm pan head hex machine thread screws listed for the BED DANCER. Using a screw that is too long or has a different head style can damage the chassis or interfere with nearby parts. If you are unsure which screws belong where, consult your BED DANCER manual or compare the old screw side by side with the new one before installing.
When to replace instead of reuse
Replace screws when the hex socket is rounded, the threads are stripped, or the head is damaged. Reusing a worn screw can make future removal difficult. Because RER15732 is a set of 12, you can keep spares for routine maintenance. Note that no vehicle compatibility beyond the BED DANCER is listed, so do not assume it fits other models without checking.
Step-by-step installation
- Gather tools and parts: You need a hex driver that matches the screw head, a clean workspace, and the RER15732 set. Check that you have the correct number of screws before starting. A dry, well-lit workspace prevents losing small screws.
- Remove the old screws: Turn each screw counterclockwise slowly. If a screw is tight, apply steady pressure rather than forcing it, which can strip the hex socket. If a screw will not budge, stop and apply a penetrating oil; do not risk rounding the head.
- Clean the mounting holes: Use a brush or compressed air to remove dirt and old threadlocker from the holes. Debris can cause the new screw to bind. A clean hole lets the screw seat fully and reduces the chance of cross-threading.
- Start the new screws by hand: Thread each RER15732 screw in clockwise with your fingers until it seats. This ensures the threads engage correctly before you apply torque. If a screw does not turn easily by hand, back it out and restart—never force it.
- Tighten in a cross pattern: Once all screws are hand-tight, snug them with the hex driver in a diagonal sequence. Stop when you feel resistance; do not overtighten. Over-tightening can strip threads in plastic or soft metal parts.
- Check and test: Verify that all screws are secure and that no parts are loose. Spin the wheels or move the suspension by hand to confirm nothing binds. A quick function check before running the vehicle can catch a missed screw.
