Shelf studs broke several years ago and I had a problem locating them. Finally wised up and checked Part Direct and found them, ordered the kit w/ 12 pieces. Then quickly watched the installation video. Took less than 30 minutes to replace two different studs. Wife is very happy.
Simply took broken pieces of old stud out and replaced with the new ones. Used pliers to adjust them. Replace a freezer stud and a fridge stud.

Two of the parts were broken so the shelf was laying on the drawers so neither could be used effectivly
Pulled out the stud with a wire cutter and replaced it with the exact part you shipped in the kit.
The other 2 parts just slipped on the brackets
Nice thing is now I have extra parts for the other shelf.
