I had a broken rollover star insert on my 1971 Gottlieb Home Run. Following a separate thread on PinSide I had no trouble removing the broken insert with a little bit of heat and then tapping it out with a socket. I also had no issues installing the new insert. Now I'm stuck trying to get the white star into the new insert. The mushroomed tip of the star simply won't go into the center hole of the insert no matter how much pressure I put on it. Is there something simple I'm missing? I assumed it would have popped right in with a bit of pressure.
(The attached picture is of another insert I haven't installed yet; just wanted to illustrate where it gets stuck.)
Thanks,
Mike
