can't recall exactly, but I'm sure it was a struggle because the seals make it a tight fit ohwell either top or bottom peg first, and the seals 'fold' opposite sides, in the direction of movement ... you need to put the piece in and attach the cable end after, and a bit of light rubber lube will help
