Impulse 31 v2 strut replacement

[stangguy73]

I recently had to switch my hardware into a new impulse 31 v2 hull. I am having issues re-installing the strut. The brass tube that comes off the front will not slide onto the stuffing tube. It is a really tight fit and I don't want to force it on. What is the trick to get this on?

I figured it out last night. Just needed a little clean up and it slid right on.
