I'm trying to installthe HANS anchors in my new(er) helmet and I'm having a hell of a time getting the padding near the pre-drilled holes to bugde. I need to fit the beacking peice between the helmet shell and the padding, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to do it. It doesn't want to budge.

I had to put the "nut" on the wrench and shove it in there. Don't remember it being all that tough...unless you aren't using that wrench HANS sends you.

D all over

r HANS?

I know it's tough to get in there, but get a small flat-bladed screwdriver and dislodge the padding from the shell. If you go forward or back of the exact spot you're trying to peel back you should find a gap in the glule or a separation in the padding, that's usually a good place to start.

Done on a '00 Bell M2, padding just peeled back.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2045190.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2045190.phtml</a></li></ul>

they'll send you a replacement for the blade wrench for free.

Save yourself a nightmare and get one if you are trying to do it without.

I got an extra set of anchors sent to me by HANS when I emailed them about my accident. They sent me the extra anchors and some new teathers.

I didn't do the original install on my old GP5, but this one has the holes predrilled so I thought it would be simple.

I got one side installed but it was a huge pain in the ***.

I'll just deal with it using the tools that I used to get one side installed. It was a huge pain in the ***, but I need it for this weekend and didn't expect it to be this tough.

hot glue will pretty much stick it all back together.

...slid down between the shell and the foam.

Go to Home Depot and buy a hot glue gun (~$5) to stick it back together when you're finished.
