How to Replace the Jaw Inserts on a Wilton Vise

The reversible jaw inserts are the clamping surfaces on your vise. The kit includes two new jaws and the screws to install them. They are reversible, so when the teeth on the jaws wear down, you can rotate them and have new teeth on the side of the vise you use the most. Over time, the diamond-point teeth on the jaws will wear out, causing the vise to no longer grip firmly.

Let's get started.
