maybe someone knows an easier way. but heres what i did.


take and coil it up in one hand with the other pull on the end to make it tightenin up and shrink then take the slack you pulled out recoil------repeat until you have it small enough to fit in the housing.

you'll need safety glasses.

and dont do on the kitchen table i lost grip on mine once and grease on the curtains will not make your wife a happy camper.

be carefull those little babys look small but once unleashed LOOK OUT!

good luck
