ok

This is a common Cattman Problem. you need to put a bar in each pipe tube and bend them closer or farther apart depending on what's wrong with it. i've heard this story many times. and people still wonder why i got a WSP one.

cattman pipes are tight fitting. all 3 of mine have been like that. just get a friend to help you force it on. or use a rubber mallet and bang on it. good luck.

mine was a little tight also, but it fit just fine. It took a little pushing, but worked out great.
