Re: [FTC]: Easy way to insert tank tread rubbers?

We successfully got them in using two people, one pulling with hemostat clamp and the other pushing with fingers all at room temperature and dry. After we got going it took only about 15 seconds per tread. We tried soap and all but I think the hemostats were the key, small enough to clamp yet not so big that it compressed and thereby enlarged the tread when clamping. Anyway worked for us.
