They have to be tapped in, they are VERY tight.
It will help to lube them a bit.

You can also try putting them in the freezer 1st.

Use some microfiber towel and a rubber mallet. You should have bought them from me. I have a set sitting at home.

^ gram light caps don't fit volks so I don't think the volks will fit the Rays.

Even though you'd think they would.
