Now to get the rubber on the bar it takes a lot of force. I used some simple water and a little soap. Then I brought out the Windex to help out as well.
Anything as long as you don't use grease or oil! From a standing position I just put one end towards the ground vertically and twisted each side back and forth while pressing down really hard.
And there we have it. Straightened out and rubber installed ready to bolt back up under the CL70 engine.
