Argh, it's been too long, I've forgotten the details and what each plate is
called. There is indeed a trick, starting with at least one of the manuals
shows the pieces in the wrong order. The smaller outermost piece goes on
first, then the piece next to the backing plate goes on, both with the
little tabs facing away from the backing plate. Then the third piece gets
driven into place between the first two pieces, until the tabs on the piece
next to the backing plate lock into the notches on the piece you're driving
in. That's what holds the whole thing together, so without that last piece,
the others are in danger of falling out on the road. It goes together
pretty snug, you shouldn't be able to wiggle the slave when you're done.
