Said the actress to the Bishop....... Snicker snicker snicker...

Sometimes it can be a pain trying to get these suckers in.  With my Cobra I took the case top off to get better leverage and i was so paranoid I was gonna break something because it seemed to be stuck.  It was the only way I could be happy it wasnt getting caught on something.
