    The tool is helpful... I have also found that hot water will warm them up enough to be more flexable as you'll likely take them apart to make adjustments...

    Tool is silly. I had some trouble getting mine together but I used 3/4 and 1/2 so there was no way I was buying two tools to use one time. Just be creative about how to get the proper force to do it. Good luck

    I used a Rubber mallet and piece of wood, tap them a couple of times and they go together.

    Taking them apart I use a piece of cloth and a two pairs of pliers using the cloth to protect the plastic. You nave to bend them away from each other and they come apart.
