OK, this seems like a 5 minute job, but after more than 2 hours of frustration, I'm asking for help.
I just replaced my the light in my Hayward light assembly and simply can not figure out the 'trick' of matching the top screw into the tiny little hole while under the water. My fingers are too fat to be able to keep in contact with the screw and the hole by the time that the assembly of the light itself requires me to pull my fingers out.
I have managed to get the little notch at the bottom seated (or at least I think it was) down at the bottom and then attempt to 'lean' the top into place, but simply can't get the screw to take hold.
I've tried it from the deck, from in the water, with goggles, without goggles, one person, two people. It's full of air...I'm full of air, so nothing's working.
Surely I'm making this harder than it has to be! I'm about to drain the pool back down to the light to get this done, but surely that's an extreme measure...can someone help me?
Thanks!
