Look up Singer 12 or 13 boat shuttle user information. That may help. The User Manual download for Singer 12K tells how to do it, but doesn’t have any photos. Maybe Goggle “Singer 12 shuttle” and hope for a YouTube?

100% The biggest issue we've had with these is they want to be REALLY Clean. the holes need to not be burred (rough edged) also.

That one looks to be in nice shape, but dirty.
