Default Re: Installing Radius Rod Rubber Ball

Just push, the cone opens the rubber ball equally all around and it easily goes over the steel ball. Before it goes on all the way, take out the plastic cone. It worked the first time in less than a minute. Ed
i know this is a very old post but today i tried the plastic bottle/funnel trick. it worked in a heartbeat. i tried several tricks that i've read here but this was the best for me. thanks for posting.
