Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Been there, done that, except it was a different dad :lol:
There should have been two "R" clips, through the white endcap and the piece you are trying to wind up. These must be removed to turn the piece with the bolt hole through it, the trick is, to stop the pipe piece with the bolt hole, working its way inside the white end cap on the roller, if it does, you can't get the "R" clip through the holes to lock it in place.
A few tries with half a turn at a time, till you get your eye in as to where the inner part has to be compared to the outer part for the "R" clip to line up ....

I had to use a very small flat blade screwdriver, because I can't find the "R" clips ..... they have been put away somewhere safe no doubt :roll:

After you have attempted this task for the 4th or 5th time ..... beer o'clock seems to roll around, even if it's still morning ;) :lol:

Looks good Bernie.

A couple more turns should do the job.
