A little while back, I popped off the rims of my Henrys Viper AXYS. I’m having a hard time putting them back on. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to put them back on? ??? ---

Try running the rims under hot water for a bit before putting them on. That should slightly expand them and make the rims more pliable. ---

Hey, I Just had the same problem and for anyone who has the same problem, squirt some soap on it. After that it slips on easily enough…
