md1400cs Posted July 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2013 Hi Everyone, I purchased these as a set. I assumed (there's that word again) that they would be pre assembled. Is there a "trick on how to assemble them without destroying the dead eyes, as I did on my first attempt. It's prob. staring me in the face but I can't see it. Any advice will be appreciated.

Bahamas Diver Posted July 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 16, 2013 Your description is exactly how I would do it. I think you are putting them together just fine. I don't know why you are destroying the dead eyes unless you are squeezing them too hard while holding the dead eye with pliers.

md1400cs Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted July 17, 2013 I might be blind but I don't see the problem. How were you destroying the dead eyes? BD, I ended up nicking a couple of them when I used small pliers to attempt to return the ring part around the dead eyes. There is a small nick on the pic I posted.
