Thanks for your answer dynamiteracer. I did squeeze them, cut dents in them, drilled a bigger hole...and broke three of them : ) Luckily, I got tons of cheap spareparts ; ) Did I make a mistake by wanting them to move sidewards? Is it possible that they are supposed to turn outwards, so they stick out of the hole and can be turned back inside (canīt describe it any better than that)? At my forth effort, I put them on just the way they came out of the bag. Really stiff. It didnīt seem to influence the rear axle all that much. She shocks still work very well. Or do you think I should go and give it another try.

After hours of fixing, cleaning and changing parts, I had up give up for today because I canīt take the wheel hexes off the driveshafts in the front. The freaking screw on the inside is round (damaged).
