Hello, how do you mount the plates with the staples? Do you have to remove the staples at some point? Tell me. In my box, I have 2 plates with staples and two without. How does it work? Do you have a video?

Good morning.

When reassembling the yoke, remember to put a little thread lock on the screws.
