Can't Fit SpecialFins Kelpie Blades Into Dessault Pockets! Help!

[FreeDivingJake]

Hello all,
I am trying to reinstall a pair of SpecialFin Kelpie blades into H Dessault footpockets. I watched numerous instructional videos on how to do it before I attempted to do it. However, the blade just won't cooperate. It won't fit into the pocket. Any help is appreciated. I tried a little soap and water in an attempt to lube it up a bit, this also failed. Thanks in advance..

Jake

Did you spread the ribs out and back in a 180 degree bend?
after that, they should slip in, and you slide the rib over the blade starting at the back and work forward.

Yes, I was able to get them in a few days ago! Thanks for the reply. By the way, you seem to have knowledge of SpecialFins.. Can you reply to my newest thread? You may know something about it.
