The first time? Welcome to the TCX.. I think I did it 7 times already. Regardless of what others say, these parts that are made of graphite, are inherently brittle ESPECIALLY when it's cold out. You barely even have to tap any boards to do this. The same goes for the arms. I heard that if you "boil" them for a bit, they soften a little. I never tried this. I just switched to the "high traction" plastic arms and have not yet broken them after 20 packs.... however, it's the axle cups that started breaking.
