Rubber Lever End Thingies

[misterprofessionality]

Lol...HEY NEMO

Glass cleaner on the lever and/or inside the RLET. Hold the RLET in a rag so it doesn’t slip from your fingers, present the RLET opening to the lever’s ball, speak the magic words (Come on baby, I’ll be gentle), and slide it in.

See, all that seems logical, but my attempts to do that (albeit with oil, grease, and wd40 one after another) just resulted in the RLET kind of crumpling up and refusing to cooperate. the opening just kind of folds up rather than stretching around the lever end, and I don't know how to stop it from doing that.

wow pdedse that was like 4 seconds. That would be a new forum record I think

I have no idea what I just saw. All i can do is take his advice about the microwave and try that. I tried boiling it but it didn't really affect the flexibility much.

He said to put oil on it, then microwave it...that strikes me as a way to get some super hot oil on your fingers. did he mean to put the oil on after the microwaving?

At any rate. My next attempt will be in a few days, on account of splitting one of them open while trying to put it on. Got to wait for a new one to ship.
