    installing an XR-Tech pump shoe

    I need to install this thing and can't figure out exactly what I'm supposed to be grinding on. I completely removed the old shoe last night. I've got it up in place with just the screws. What next? What type of glue? What should I use to grind it - and where do I grind it?
