This was what I had heard and thought was "the way".
Overly concerned maybe, but I just don't want to destroy one of these to find out. And here's why....
The knob hole depth is deeper than the stop by an 1/8" or so. If the clip is in knob first can/will the clip slide back too far in the hole to make the detents? If the clip is on the stem first am I going to split the knob open? No way it's going to just
"pop" on like this.
