I made a big mistake taking off the gutter trim on my 1850.

It was hard to get off and I'm having a devil of a job getting it on.

I have a spare one but can anybody tell me the best way to fit it. Starting at the bend seems sensible then perhaps a tap with a soft hammer.

All of you out there who have done bare metal refurbishments etc.must have done this before so whats the secret for getting it off and on?
