I have now tried and failed twice, so it?s time to ask for help. I am trying to insert the U-00016 tailwheel spring into the U-00018 mount. The process in theory is to clean the inside of the U-00018 with sandpaper, grease the U-00016, and slide it right in nice and easy. My actual experience is that the fit is so tight that I cannot (even with some moderately persuasive help from a rubber mallet) get the spring into the mount. The first part of the spring goes about a half inch into the mount before no more movement is possible.
Suggestions welcome.
