FWIW, when i replaced my one rear cylinder (TR3) last winter, no amount of
advice or strategy could get the thing on (bought from big 3)

i had to file down the retaining ears to get it on, then found the threads
in the line mount were not clean
had two cyliinders do this from separate orders.  Frustrated me for weeks,
as I thought I was surely doing something wrong.NOPE
bouught replacement cylinders, from BPNW, went on like butter.

Im guessing there is a batch of bad castings out there, so make sure the
measurements are correct on the casting.
