Hey look, I know sometimes getting that little tiny antenna wire through that tiny hole in the antenna tube can be a real pain. Some antenna tubes come in different colors and believe it or not, diffident sizes. Yes, I know they come in different lengths. But did you ever stop to REALLY look at one from the other? The inside diameter is sometimes diffident making it hard to get that little wire in some tubes. Here is a helpful hint to help you get through this without getting too frustrated.
Frame 1) Illustrated different colors and perhaps wire types.
Frame 2) No sense in trying to get this wire through the way it is.
Frame 3) Gently work the wire through your fingers while pulling on the wire and give it a "little" stretch back into shape. Don't pull too hard, just enough to feel the wire getting less kinked.
Frame 4)Once you have the wire straight, feed through the antenna tube.
Frame 5) This one is the winner folks, if you still have a problem here, wait... don't give up. Use a small amount of bearing lube or WD-40 and get some down the end of the tube.
Frame 6) With a little lubrication the wire will feed in a lot easier and you'll be glad you did, especially when you start getting to the other end of the antenna tube. Without some kind of lubrication on the wire in some tubes, you may find the wire "kink" and then get stuck. Once this happens, your going to have to start again. Forcing the wire further could break the insulation and cause further damage to that receiver wire.
