Grip, hole and inspection gauges
EB2G1400
Grip gage
Checks: "The scale is read to the nearest 1/16" grip increment at the work surface. If sheet line falls between values on grip gage, round up to the next grip."
EB2G1309
Pin protrusion gage
Checks: "The pin protrusion must be less than the "MAX" cutout on the gage and greater than the "MIN" cutout." "Pin protrusion should be checked after nut installation."

EB2G1000 / EB2G1100 / EB2G1200
Paddle or Thimble type gage
Checks: "Determines correct nut profile and conformity after installation"; it "must pass over the deformed Eddie-Nut lobes to confirm the installation is satisfactory."

Tooling source notes
- Repair access is the edge case that bites: you can't strip the surrounding structure during a repair, and some jobs need 90° drills and heads. Know the tool envelope during design.Installer interview (aerospace tool services), 2026-09-25. Field experience, not a specification.
Removal (drill-out)Published procedure
Howmet Eddie-Bolt 2 process manual, Removal Procedures
- “The Eddie-Nut may be removed by using a hand or power removal tool designed for use in open or difficult access conditions. For Eddie-Nut removal from clearance fit holes, a hex or Spline-Lok key is necessary to prevent the Eddie-Pin from rotating. Tools shown: EBRT100, EBRT100-( )CF, EBRTO100-( ).” Howmet Eddie-Bolt 2 process manual, p.23, Removal Procedures ↗
- “A power removal tool with a collet-type action provides trouble-free, high speed removal of Eddie-Nuts. Tool shown: ETR1000-(*).” Howmet Eddie-Bolt 2 process manual, p.24, Removal Procedures ↗
Cautions
- “Removed Eddie-Nuts shall not be reused and Eddie-Pins must be replaced before installing a new Eddie-Nut.” Howmet Eddie-Bolt 2 process manual, p.24, Removal Procedures ↗
- “Conventional hex or similar nuts cannot be used on Eddie-Pins.” Howmet Eddie-Bolt 2 process manual, p.24, Removal Procedures ↗
- “NOTE: If sealant is used on installation, once the sealant sets, removal of the Eddie-Nut cannot be accomplished with a power tool.” Howmet Eddie-Bolt 2 process manual, p.24, Removal Procedures ↗
None of the removal procedures on file gives a composite-specific removal caution. The Monogram specs address composite at the hole instead: holes "reasonably round and free from burrs (metallic structure) and delamination (graphite/epoxy type structure)" (MBF2003 §5.1).
Tool tables are the manufacturer's as published in the cited revision; confirm current tool PNs with the manufacturer or distributor before purchase. Not a certified process authority: install and remove per the OEM process specification.
