Wait for a special occasion, use lots of water based lube, light some candles and ask the beam nicely before you start pushing. 😉

Maybe can the part about the special occasion and candles, but using some water based lube and pushing did it for me last time I installed one :thumb

pushing it on worked? wow
I lubed mine up with some lithium grease and used a clamp to try and press them on with no luck
they are tight little bashtards

I must have got a pair of loose ones....either that or or my right arm was way too strong at that point in time.Chewy wrote:pushing it on worked? wow
Seriously though, I must have got lucky as I didn't have too much drama (just a little swearing and cursing).
hopefully you can devise some sort of jack/clamp to force it on.

I had no dramas either, just put some lube and some elbow grease, maybe go to the gym and pump some iron for a couple of weeks before hand and then do it. Are you sure you got the correct ones?
