Any tips on how to install the front bump stops on a late Type 3. It looks to be near impossible.

Nah. These are new and there is no way I can just twist them on. I think I am going to have to ream them out.

Hi

Any lube you use will make them fall off easier. Talcum powder is my suggestion as well, try leaving them out in the sun for a while to make them softer.

Use the old trick, washing up liquid, just dries out and you can wash the excess off.
