Howitzer BB problem

I've got a problem with my Howitzer BB - it's the crankstop/seal that I can't get to seat properly. I can push it onto the cup (so it sits on the bearing) and it sits snugly, but then when the spindle/axle is pushed through it just pops out again.

Or If I install the spindle/axle first, it's hard to get the crankstop/seal back on because of the raised part (on the axle splines).

Any help? :P

Thanks :)

    hold it on as you push the axle through :wink:

    and as you push the axle through the hole, try to keep it as straight as you can

    Tried that :wink: It's near to impossible to do it by hand, because of the tapered bit. You'd need a socket or something similar to knock it over.
