I used washing up liquid and brute force to push mine back on. :mad: I used standard links. The old ones came off not too bad but nothing else would let the new ones slip on far enough other than washing up liquid.

ATB doing the job. :D

If the ends of the ARB have surface rust,give them a clean up first,it always slides better when it's shiny..as the actress said to the bishop...

get a tight fitting drill bit and spin it in reverse this will heat the rubber maken it soft iss a bit of copper greese ind it should slip on sounds like a bodge but works
