2. Insert the rotor core into the same cap as shown below. Apply some pressure to push the

rotor core approximately 1/2" (10-12 mm) into the cap.

3. Put in the wooden insert.

4. Insert the pushpin into the other cap until it is fully seated and the end of the pushpin sticks

out approximately 1/4" (6-7 mm). You may need to push it hard.

5. Put everything together as shown below. Push the caps towards each other until they

cannot move any more. The T-pin must be secured firmly. This process may require some

strength. Be careful not to bend the T-pin or poke yourself.
