I pulled the other when I was blasting the body, now for the life of me I can't get them back in. I made the tool that is described in the Fisher Body manual and installed spring #1 which has the rubber sleeve. The second one is the problem. With spring #1 in the correct position I can't install #2 because #1 is in the way.   Dan Solomon Never be afraid to try something new.
