LET'S GET STARTED !!
A good VERY GOOD idea would be to read through ALL these instructions before starting anything.
1. Shut down your Mac and disconnect all cables from the back.
2. Wrap the monitor face and back very well, leaving exposed only the base portion. There will be many metal slivers and abrasive waste surrounding this as a result of this work and you don't want any damage to your iMac.
3. Place monitor face down on good horizontal work table.
4. Follow instruction on this photo
For the next step (IMPORTANT), it would be easier with someone helping.
5. With base parts clamped together, pick up the iMac and place it on it's base (Normal position).
6. A VERY IMPORTANT STEP.. TAKE YOUR TIME AND GET IT RIGHT !!~!!
This is where you adjust the position of the clamped base parts to place the monitor in it's correct lowered position. CENTERED OVER THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE BASE, PERFECTLY LEVEL, AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, BUT LEAVING ENOUGH SPACE TO ALLOW FOR FULL TILTING FORWARD AND BACKWARDS.
7. LOOSEN AND TIGHTEN THE CLAMPS UNTIL YOU GET THE CORRECT POSITION. WHEN YOU'RE THERE, TIGHTEN THE CLAMPS VERY MUCH.
8. ARE YOU SURE THE MONITOR IS WHERE YOU WANT IT ???
I ASK YOU AGAIN.. ARE YOU SURE YOU GOT THE CORRECT POSITION ?? If the answer is yes, go to the next step.
9. DRILL THREE 5/16" HOLES APPROXIMATELY WHERE SHOWN IN ABOVE PHOTO, BUT FIRST, PLACE A PIECE OF HARD MATERIAL BEHIND WHERE YOU WILL DRILL SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE MONITOR WITH THE DRILL AS IT PASSES THROUGH.
10. Insert the socket head cap screws into the newly drilled holes, start the lock nuts onto the screws on the back of the base, and using the Allen wrench and box wrench, tighten the three screws very tightly.
NOTE: if by some chance, the position of the monitor is not as you would like it.. remove the screws, reclamp the base to where you want it. Drill new holes and fasten again with the screws/lock nuts.
YOU'RE DONE.. JUST CLEAN UP !
