Ah, right.

It's a rubber buffer then.

You may be able to seat it by using a screwdriver and lifting the front edge of the shoe but I would start again.

Put the three shoes on the posts and make sure they bed down by having them in the 'engaged' position when you push then on so that they fit over the buffers, then press the shoes onto the buffer abnd they should stay there.

I know the springs can be difficult and the best way I've found of getting them on is to use a large pair of circlip pliers, the type that expand when you squeeze the handles.

Put the small end of the spring in the back of the shoe and sue the circlip pliers in a different way.

use one end to engage the longer end of the spring and use the back of the other shoe as a rest for the other circlipo prong.

If you really have difficulty with keeping the shoes in place while your getting the springs on, use acouple of cable ties joined together, to go round the shoes and keep the whole lot under control.

An alternative method is to assemble the shoes and springs on the bench and then push the whole lot on a bit at a time.

As you get close to the buffers, put three bits of metal or wood 3-4mm thick, under the front edges to lift the shoes so that they clear the buffers as you press the shoes home.
