Cadee -- Sorry for the delay in getting you an answer. I think the Cricket Chorus was telling you that as far as anyone here knows, there is no trick to it -- just settle in with some patience and get 'er done, I suppose. You really shouldn't have to go to any great lengths to get that job done, so if you are still having issues, there might be some other issue affecting it. It really amazes me just how many "easy little jobs" in this hobby turn out to be monumental pains in the patootie.

Sometimes the new Chinese replacement parts aren't quite the same dimensionally -- just enough off to give some trouble.

If you're still having an issue, let us know.
