Apparently whoever had my cab before I got it (a Robotron cab that had been converted several times) didn't know you could pull the stick out if you take the clip off the bottom...they drilled the holes big enough so the ball would fit thru from the bottom! Of course, this made the hole so big that the dust washer jams up in it
I just ended up removing the dust washers since it was always getting caught and pinching my fingers.
