Assembly tips
Disassembly Tips
The correct thing to do is remove the plastic sleeve first. First you punch out the final end with the clip. You Drill a hole just a hair larger than the inside diameter of the upper tube..a 12 mm hole basically. You take the threaded male coupler minus the little ring piece from another kit and you screw it into the plastic sleeve. Using a hard maple dowel and a wood mallet, you punch down so the sleeve comes out through the top of the cap section. Once the sleeve is removed, you punch out the centerband. Then you take the plastic sleeve and simply push it back into the centerband to re-install the kit.[[../../../../../forum/member.php?u=3622|workinforwood]]
