Small Pulley Flanges .... help!

[JonB]

Hi Guys,

Am I missing a trick or could someone tell me an easy way to get the outer flanges onto the small pulleys e.g. Step 2 A and Step 4 A of the manual?

They push on easily the wrong way round but I cannot for the life of me get them on the right way round!! :cry:

Thanks for your help.

Thats what i thought but they do go on. They almost snap tight on. Have you checked if you have got window masks yet. I didnt have them!

Put them on partially, then put them down on a flat hard surface and push.

If its still tough, warm them up under a hot tap - just the plastic, not the alloy.

I found this.
I got one side on then just gently squeezed the other end on with a pair of pliers :thumbsup:
I didn't get window masks either, so i've just used some revell paint stop instead :)

My technique too. Get one side in then push hard with thumbs on other, or with pliers.

Had to do same with my Mi2EC. It's tough, but they stay on :thumbsup:

Same as chris and adam but placed a towl over it and used the handle end of a screwdriver to push it on:)
