    From what i have read you are supposed to boil them for a few mins which makes them expand and will fit over the shaft nice and easy???


    Well have boiled mine now for well over 30mins and that has made no difference at all:(

    Anyone who has done this can they let me know exactly what they did to make them large enough to fit over the shaft?


    Thx

    They do not really expand much when boiled, but they become more pliable - once boiled, gently work them over the shaft. This can be done by hand. Let them cool; they may still be somewhat loose around the slots, but carefully reinserting the shaft will seat them.
