Another thing you might try is hair spray. It will make things very
slippery. I use hair spray to install handlebar grips on motorcycles.
Altho I am not sure what would happen if you let it sit long enough to
dry, it may glue them together. Usually takes awhile to dry if you use
a lot. If you try this, let us know if it works. :-)


I don't have any hair spray, but I guess I could get some and try it. My
hunch is that it would get sticky before I could make the adjustment I

need
to make in the fittings.



I think hairspray has acetone or some other such solvent and might very well
melt the plastic like the glue does.
