    • Align the joints of the new arm with the joint connected to the frame.

    • The frame joint should be in between the two joints of the arm.

    • Insert the screw in the hinge and lightly tighten by turning the screw clockwise.

    • Make sure all parts are aligned and that the new arm is not angled.

    • You may want to put the glasses on to make sure the arm is positioned properly.

    • Once aligned, fully tighten the screw.

    • You may need to make adjustments to the tightness of the arm. Tighten (turn clockwise) or loosen (turn counterclockwise) the screw until you have a comfortable fit.
