Fumble, good description. It didn't look much different than the way I fumbled around with mine. Great video for us average guys. Watching Rob's videos can make you feel kind of inferior when you start fumbling around even though his information videos are great.
Couple of points.
If the Reo is older, Rob has said he used to use liquid weld on the post nut. So if you know the Reo is older break the nipple off like SuperX did in the video. I had a new one that I was able to unscrew and reuse the post nut and everything. The older one I had wouldn't budge so I broke it off.
I think it easier to separate the post and it's pieces. Put the grommet in first and use the top of the post to seat it like Rob does in his video. The put the Teflon washer on the post and seat it with a screwdriver with out pushing too hard. That will eliminate the problem of the post moving when you're trying to put the nut on.
Everything else is pretty straight forward as SuperX has in the video.

Great job, mine should be here today, will be watching a couple of more times in preparation, thanks!
"We got new stuff. High output stuff. Kick ayuss stuff" HAHAHAHA Awesome, brother.
We're gonna have a beer together one of these days.

thanks for the vid--hopefully my new mini will arrive upgraded, but if not, this vid will definitely be useful.
Nice video! I did mine late last night and was still fumbling even without those big ol' man paws. lol I thought it would be a good idea to unscrew the post and save everything for parts so it took me about an hour including the time finding the right butter knife screwdriver. Probably never use them. Derp. I canNOT believe the difference!
My grand doesn't have it, I just pull the whole bottle rig out when I'm swapping. I did superglue the cap to the tube though, because it kept sliding around on me.
Also nice vid super! Glad to see you didn't end up chucking the bottle and tube across the room like I would've and had to pick it back up mid-video. I would've said I saw a tarantula and needed some sort of weapon to fend it off, so of course the juice bottle is the weapon of choice.

so it got to the UK faster than Texas? Something's going horribly wrong here!
Good video SXD, especially well done as a later voiceover with pointers for short cuts. Are you going for the record of 'sticky' thread in here?
