Reattaching Dampers to Gimbal

[AlgebraMan]

I landed a little to hot last weekend and lost one prop and I have noticed my two rear dampers aren't attached to the gimbal. The small three wires are fine but how do I get the top ring through the little opening without tearing the rubber? Should I grease the opening or would that harm the rubber? What tools would be best? I'm thinking forceps would do the job.

Worked like a charm, except for my fat fingers. Thanks again.

I use fishing line. You can find videos online showing this method.
