I pushed like hell to get the tubes in, but they never "popped" into place like many on here describe. They seem to be tight although they will flex back and forth laterally some if I push and pull on them. Is this normal, or should they be completely immovable?
SHould the outer lip of the tube be flush or inset in the head? They did 'POP' on the way out... |

The slight pop you feel is the o-ring going over the raised lip you can see in the picture.
If you cant get the tube retainer springs in, then they are not in far enough. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1400216036.1.jpg) |
