The factory manual has a diagram of a special tool that sort
of looks like a crochet hook. It gives very detailed dimensions
of the handle, and less detailed dimensions for the working end.
Then it gives almost no information on how to actually use it.
You need:
1: Patience
2: Lubrication
I took off half of my chrome strip once, and managed to get it
back on. I can't remember a "secret", except to
have patience and understand how everything fits together.
If the rubber lip on the seal that holds the metal strip
is old and messed up, it might be a wise idea to replace the rubber.
