I think it is hitting something on the case. If I could somehow fish it around the drum it *might* be possible, but my patience for the day is gone.

You might be able to wrap a thin sheet of sheet metal over the lugs that stick up past the sun shell so you can slide the band over them ?

running up my post count some more .
