Ah, no more beautiful sight than a cut off RLET.

And another goes to the Dark Side...

Not cut off ... let's say I got too aggressive with the 90-degree pliers trying to get them ON.
Don't be like me ... don't use ANY tools.
Now heating them up again, sticking a Sharpie into one end, then moving to my pinkie finger, then my middle finger (which seems appropriate) ...
If I can just get the lips around the equator of the lever ball, I'll be home free.

"redbirds, you need some serious help!"
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - pdedse - 10-03-2019
1. 15 seconds micro wave
2. dab of olive oil on lip of RLET
3. firmly with thumb and 2 fingers--no oil on fingers--push RLET on
4. ride
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - the Ferret - 10-03-2019
Holy smokes I believe we have a new Rlet installation champ. People were astonished when Nemo put one on in 11 seconds. I think you just did it in about 4. Wow
Impressed am I

Slight modification of your method:
1. Heated up in a bowl of water in microwave for 45 seconds or so
2. Used tongs to put on dry towel from microwave bowl
3. Quickly ... to the garage!!!
4. Held lever FIRMLY forward and stationary with left hand
5. Used right thumb and forefinger to push lips over the ball and past the equator ... I put the flat part of the lip on the flat, hollowed bottom of the lever bulb
6. Try 1 through 5 again if it cools down after a few tries
7. Once you're past the equator, you're home free ... position into place
8. Hide the CB from public view till the split one arrives via eBay ...
Until #8 ... I am but half a man.

Still think it was accomplished in post-production with digital effects.
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - the Ferret - 10-03-2019

RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - GoldOxide_imp - 10-03-2019
