Here is the link to the Berea instructions for the Glacia pen kit.
I will put quotes around the names of the kit parts that are related to the problem I am having, so please refer to the Pen Parts diagram in the instruction sheet.
The problematic step in the assembly, for me at the moment, is pressing the "Finial" on after screwing the "Transmission" into the "Threaded Transmission Bushing".
It seems that an excessive amount of force may be required to press the "Finial" on to the chrome top of the "Transmission".
The "Finial" does not go on, even a tiny bit. . I have not experienced a problem like this with any other kit.
Usually, you can feel one part sliding onto the other and then tightening up as the gripping of one part by the other is established, but not here.
I am afraid to exert any more force, for fear of damaging the "Transmission" (or something else).
I can't see what, if anything, is wrong with what I am doing.
I would appreciate any comments which you might have. . Thanks !
