Just ordered Bear Claw latches, any tips on install?

Hey everyone. Hope you were able to enjoy Christmas and will have a great new year!

I just ordered some bear claw latches from Midfifty. Any tips on installing these would be great. Supposedly they are bolt in. I am so sick of my worn out stars and am really excited for these. I was not excited about the price ($250) but I am hoping they are worth it. Thanks again.

Lots of previous discussions on this topic, try a search on "Altman latches"
