Spray the gear part with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench before tightening. Align
the gear part over the slot.

I'm putting together a TH-7DX and am having trouble with the hose clamps
used to hold the telescoping sections of the elements together, especially
the smaller diameter tubes.
The instructions say to tighten the clamps until the two tubes will not
slide in and out or rotate in each other. I find that if I tighten the
clamps enough so that this is so, the clamps often break (the screw housing
bends and will no longer hold the screw).
Is there a way to tighten the clamps enough to secure the tubing without
breaking them?
