Went to fit a drum paddle that a customer could not fit themselves BUT nor could I…
The paddle just will not fit into the locating slits because its slightly too long, it touches the front inner part of the drum and will not locate!!
We just had one of these in our workshop for this job. We heated up the front end of the drum paddle using a heat gun set to 380’c, which made it just flexible enough to give when pulling against the drum allowing the clips to fit into the correct position. Job done :tup:
