That's a very good point to remember: EVERYTHING FITS CORRECTLY. If
something doesn't seem to fit quite right, you only need to line it up
better... then sure enough, it fits after all. 

There were many other good points earlier, especially about buying a
*new* Phillips #1 screwdriver. You probably needed one anyway.
(Europeans: that really does mean Phillips, not Pozidriv!)

The self-locking 6in forceps (aka hemostats) are excellent for
positioning washers and nuts in hard-to-reach places. They are also are
the ideal tool for jiggling TMP plugs into place.

One other word of comfort: all of those connectors become much easier to
insert and remove after the first time.
