I've heard it called a few names, but whatever it is, I'm having trouble getting it installed on my X-Gaming joysticks. With a little work, I can slide it on partially, but no matter how hard I push, I can't get it all the way around the rod. Am I even supposed to be sliding it on? I'd hope I don't have to hurt my fingers to get this on, but at the moment they hurt and the c-clips are still off.

You should be using some needle nose pliers. At least, that's how I get mine off and on.

They slide on. Use a screwdriver or something to slide it on rather than your fingers. The clips are very annoying though. One time, when I took the e-clip off my P360 joystick, it flew across the room and I had to spend a half hour looking for it. :-\

Thanks. Once I get it on a little way, can I stop pushing down on the other piece (the little piece that flips for 4/8 way?) Or do I have to keep putting pressure on that?

I also use needle nose pliers.
Dig it ?

I'm not calling you an idiot, but are you putting it on the rod or in the groove on the rod?

Hehe, it's okay, I am an idiot. I'm putting it in the groove though, so I guess I can't be that bad. I finally got it on, after trying for a few minutes with a screw driver, then got it on the rest of the way with the pliers. Thanks for the help.
