Hi all,
I'm in the process of disassembling a TH7 to clean out the traps. 
Boy, what a mess in there. You thought grass clippings just 
decomposed on the ground? Wrong - they wind up inside the traps!

Anyway, the problem I am having is getting one of those plastic 
insulators far enough back inside the trap cover. When they put the 
trap together, they dimpled the cover with a punch to hold the 
insulators in place. It makes it about impossible to get the insulator 
back in. 
I've tried flattening out the dimple from the inside without success. 
Any suggestions?
Tnx,
Barry
