Rubber Lever End Thingies

[zbillster_imp]

In some realms, this would be considered mutilation.

I do not like the Cone of Shame ...

The mutilation is mostly to my PayPal wallet ... the going price for RLETs on eBay and elsewhere has doubled since this thread started in 2013.

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.

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

Still think it was accomplished in post-production with digital effects.

I should also note that I softened them up quite a bit by inserting my fingers, end of a Sharpie, etc. ... basically, use them as a stress toy for a couple of hours before installation.
