Both the axles are done - video - moving pictures - out of comfort zone - hmmm (!)
The point of the press is to save having a bad day.
If you are persistent and butch and manly you could probably shout at those bloody boots until they do what they are told.
The press is total over kill and not really really needed it just makes for a pleasant experience rather than one when you feel compelled to go and kick some defenceless animal or object because you have had a bad day.
The original clips have those catches that need to be positioned so that you have a slightly larger diameter than the rubber.
You can't easily compress the rubber boot and the axle shaft to fit the small ones.
If you are using different clips - say something like a jubilee clip - then you wouldn't have this problem because you can open the clip and place it around a boot when fitted in position. Even I can push the rubber boots (without a clip in place) over the end of the axle shaft and not feel like frustration and pain dominates...
This press business is only really for this particular type of clip - the ones where you crimp them tight by deforming the square bit on the clip
If it wasn't for this style of clip I wouldn't have been cutting up wood.
