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... |

I've even turned a screwdriver around and used the handle as a mandrel to push the tube into place. At least one of the drivers I have is just the right size to push on the shoulder of the tube.
