how hard is it to insert the spindle in the arms, i have just got mine from alans, and fook me i cannot get the arms on, very very tight, is there something wrong? i think if i wack it on, they will never come off, and may damage the splines!  any idea's guys and gals?  ...sam

Rooonga:
I haven't tried my new ones yet, but generally they slide on a bit quite easily - even if its only the first half inch or so.

Make sure the splines line up OK though, you really shouldn't need to bash em at all. (Wonder if they've been over chromed???)

CD17:
Yes I just fitted a set of Macneils to a New Skool which are almost the same fittings & yes they are fooking tight  :(

Stick the arms on a radiator for a while & the spindle in the freezer.

Do you have the correct fitting tool  ???  If not get one & also cover the spindle with copper ease or some grease before fitting  :daumenhoch:

Bigplinky:
The last Profile I got were very tight, I got a longer bolt than standard and wound them on with a thick scrap washer. after a few ons and offs they slacken up to just tight  :LolLolLolLol:

meticulous:
the ol' radiater and fridge sound like a good idea, i will try that, thanks, but once on lets hope i need never get them off, thanks... :daumenhoch:
