I just ordered a set of 914rubber eyebrow grommets... is there a trick or tool for installing these things without a) piercing them with a screwdriver, or b) screaming words that young children shouldn't hear?
Also, how on earth do you get enough leverage to install the one that's inside the fender? |

Palmolive. Marge, you're soaking in it!
For those of us who remember that commercial. Seriously, it works. |

@roblav1 thanks!
I'm originally from England, so I only have completely useless English ads from 30 years ago trapped in my brain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) @bbrock "Sorry, swearing is mandatory but piercing is not. +1 on lube." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Reminds me of my time in federal prison... Punch is a good call. I'm thinking maybe a hex key for the one inside the fender. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) @bdstone914 Thanks Bruce! This is absolutely genius, will definitely give floss a try. QUOTE(roblav1 @ Jun 2 2021, 02:46 PM)  Palmolive.
