Fellow Healeyoids,

I'm having a hell of a time getting that little chrome ring into the rubber
light housing on the rear turn indicator lights.  I got the fronts in fine,
but I can't get the rears in to save my life.  I have spent an hour on just
one!  I'm sick of slipping with the rounded blade of a screwdriver and
gouging the paint.  I got these from AH Spares about five years ago and they
have never seen the light of day.  Did they change dimensions when they
passed the time/space continuum?     I don't know if I need to get other
ones, use silicone or like lubricant or what.  I always had a slightly hard
time with these on my old Minis and my Cobra (which are identical) but
NOTHING like the Healey problem.  Maybe there is a special tool??????  Help
is appreciated as how to proceed.
