Exko,
That shoulder you experienced is the end of the stator tube. The tube from
the traf slides over the stator tube so when you try to run the wires down
they hit the stator tube end. Takes a lot of fiddling to get all the
bullets or wire tips in your case from jamming up against it and balling up
the whole mess when you try to pull things through.
