I promised to help someone with a problem and so far I haven't been much help.
The photos below are about the best I can do at this time.
This reverse "shock" receives or attaches to a small round knob at both ends. The new "exact" replacement has a smaller end than the old original (both ends are made of a type of plastic) but the new part has a spring steel clip that snaps around the knob.
I believe this clip is meant to be removed and when the new part is snapped over the knob the steel clip needs to be re inserted for a firm hold.
Or, I could be wrong and the spring steel clip just stays inside and the new part has to be forced down over the knob? My dilemma is no matter which way is chosen the matter of how much force? Will it take a lot of force? Do you use a hammer and tap it down until it fits?
I couldn't think of how to describe this part so that I could find something pictured on the internet.
