Age must be getting to me. 1954 - 3100. I have out these huge rubber grommets on several times in the past. I guess I keep secrets pretty good. I can't remember the easier way to put them on, tried olive oil, 30 weight, grease and a slab of bacon. My hands are very strong and the grommet is new, maybe I should try J&Y jelly. What is the method or secrete? Doc.
