Test the Adapter on the fixture to see what lacquer should be de-shined for gluing

Sand the not-visible lacquer inside the glue joint

Same part - different fixture, but it shows the right step.

Work on the wire a little bit at-a-time to keep forces gentle
../CK3384/09D.png

Press the wire against the Adapter so you don't pull on the fixture at all
../CK3384/07D.png

... squeeze (stabilize the wire against the fixture)
../CK3384/12D.png

... pinch (separate a bit of the insulation - maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch)
../CK3384/13D.png
DHTMLGoodies.com
... pull (pull off that bit of insulation. Don't pull on the wire in the fixture! )
../CK3384/14D.png
DHTMLGoodies.com
... because they show really well the "a bit at-a-time" series for taking off insulation
../CK3384/16D.png

As you pull off the last 'bit, spin it in your fingers

Now you can feed the twirled, trimmed wires into the tubes

I have to wear magnifiers or two pairs of reading glasses for this step
22D.png
DHTMLGoodies.com
pull the wire until the insulation comes to the back of the tubes

Test again before snapping in the tube-backer or gluing the Adapter to the Fixture.

- Test the light before you start (tighten bulbs if necessary)
- Re-test along the way
- Inspect the fit of the adapter to know how much lacquer to sand
- Complete the plug before gluing it on
- Pinch the insulation off a bit at-a-time
- Spin the last insulation bit as you pull it off to twist the wire
