Now you start stuffing the innards back into the tube. Notice the little tool I am using. This is a homemade feat of technical prowess and mastery. Ermm.. Well, it is a paperclip with a dab of solder on the end and the solder is flattened out well so it make a small blunt blade for stuffing wayward filler into the carto tube as needed.

Now get the carto started onto the connector and make sure it is completely straight

Use the heavy pliers to place on top of the carto upside down (the carto not the pliers) and place the carto on something sort of soft as you will bang on the pliers

generally two good whacks is enough to fiully seat the connector and innards back in place

Look in there, does it look like a carto. If not go back and start over again, if it does. I'm impressed, I actually made all this up as I went. Nooononono Just Kidding!
