It is essential to make sure that there are no sharp
edges on yoke (A) (deburr lightly with emery cloth
if necessary).
Carefully and generously lubricate the following
with clean engine oil:
-
the whole expander (stems and centre),
-
inside the gaiter and in particular the neck.
Place a thumb over the bottom hole, pour some
oil into the gaiter and spread it round the inside.

Slip the gaiter over the end of the expander.
Wrap a piece of clean rag round one hand and
grip the gaiter so that the first fold will stretch
when it is slid on.

Lean against the edge of the vice.
Place one hand over the other and pull taking
care that the first fold does not double back.
Pull the gaiter as close as possible to the cylindrical
section of the expander and then let it return half-
way.
Repeat this operation several times (maximum 5
times ) to make the rubber of the gaiter more plia-
ble (relubricate the stems during the operation if
necessary).
