Reinstalling idle tubes

(1/2) > >>

Greasy Harley:
Okay, I removed the idle tubes by tapping them down with a punch.
Then I modified a drywall screw and popped them out. Great that all went well ...Now what?
The tubes are pushed down in the collars and don't seem to want to slide back up in the collars.
How do you reset the tubes back into the collars without damaging them?

429bbf:
you can easily put them in a vice and put aluminum angle iron on the jaws and press them back nice and slowly hth

Greasy Harley:
Soft Jaws on the vice, and carefully press the tubes back together.
...Yep, that worked great!!
Thank you
