Dumb question: How to install Balltop replacement in T-Stick+?

[millercentral]

So I have my T-Stick Plus sticks, and my ball-top replacements. I was able to easily remove the existing stick by unscrewing the bottom nut and removing the auto-lock mechinism, but when I insert the balltop where the original was, it doesn't fit, blocked at the entrance by a metal plate on the shaft.

Can anyone give me a step-by-step on how to replace the stick with the balltop on the TStick+?

Thanks!

Nevermind... turns out my balltop replacements were defective (ball and washer were installed on the wrong end of the shaft!)
