belt build problem (2 replies)

Hi -

I'm building an i3 and all is going well, except I'm having trouble getting my GT2 belt to get into the teeth on my x-axis carriage. The opening is too narrow and I can't get either the left end or the right end into their respective grips. Any thoughts on how I can force it open wide enough to get the belt ends in there so the teeth can grab on?

Thanks,
Paul
