Sean, This isn't EXACTLY what you asked about, but it should be close enough to give you some help. http://www.milestek.com/products1.htm Choose "Technical Info" at the very top of the page. From "Instructions/Product Support", select "BNC Plug Installation" from the list. There are several other tool categories that you may also find useful to investigate, such as the pin crimper that is used to crimp on the tiny end pin. Your tool may not be identical, but the general instructions should still apply. Fr.
