never heard of that make of breaker! should there be a sharp pointy that goes in place of the bit that pushes the plates on? not sure if it's on yours? but ones i have seen the point goes against the end of the pin and screwing it in splays out the end of the pin .

hope that helps a bit !!!!

Daft question, but why not ask the friend you borrowed it from, he must have used it before????

Right on! Angle grinder, pin punch and hammer are the tools of choice for me.
