It’s possible to get lucky and not even need a guide. I tried that on my Super Course, but it didn’t work out. So I drilled and tapped a hole. I was using a cartridge BB, and my bolt was too long, interfering with the BB. So I had to carefully cut the bolt down. Overall, it was pretty involved, but it worked out.
