Thanks for that idea.

The biggest problem I had in assembly was that I couldn't figure
out the rather simple instructions for the life of me.

The kit came with *two* different types of nylon bushings:

One bushing was beveled, and I used that on the horizontal end.
But the other bushing was sqaured, and I couldn't figure out how
to use that squared bushing.

Nothing whatsoever I tried seemed to make any sense.
Googling, I found NOBODY used a square bushing on that end
(they used the square bushing only at the plastic-to-metal interface).

So, I gave up on the square bushing, and re-used an old beveled nylon
bushing instead:

Why an old one when a new beveled bushing came with the pipe?



QUESTION:
How was I supposed to use the SQUARE nylon bushing?

NOTE: The instructions show it clearly as #3 but those instructions
can't possibly work, as I tried it in that configuration and
if fell apart every time.
