catherine, don't forget that most men have more strength then we do, so what is easy for them is sometimes very hard for us. Just getting the top off my lavatank the first couple of times I chipped the heck out of it. I think I had my brother push the carto through. I have a small ballpeen hammer that I use for jewelry making that I have to use sometimes to get the carto to move. I'm sure that isn't recommended, but you do what you have to do to make things move. IMHO
