Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks, Jon

I had to lightly file away the corners (not TOO much), and use a third hand and some elbow grease...use a table vise if ya got it. It should twist right in after twenty minutes or so and about fifty-seven words that would make your mamma cry if she knew you said 'em.
