Turnbuckle problems

[rbecking]

I am currently building a TC3 Racer kit, got to the bit of assembling the turnbuckles but I am having awful trouble screwing the ball caps onto the turnbuckle. Any advice/tips?

One end of the turnbuckle is a left hand thread, so that end needs to be screwed on "the wrong way".

I find them easier to assemble if the ball cup is held gently in a vice. The turnbuckle can then be held in the correct place with one hand, applying downwards pressure too, whilst it is turned with the spanner with your other hand.

Thanks a lot Marcus, wondered why I could get them on one end!!!

i found it easy if you try and put both the ball ends on at the same time turning them in opposite directions
