I can't seem to get the rear hub installed between the dampeners and the wheel. Am I missing a trick to get the hub started/pressed between the dampeners and wheel? The last time I got a new rear tire I don't remember it being this difficult to get the hub pressed in.

It is pretty tight, some guys have recommended spraying the dampeners witha "lube" like hairspray. stay away from anything petoleum related....it will break down the rubber. I just put mine back together a month or so ago, and it was a struggle, but certainly easier using this advice.
