Bale wire. Down the tube. Tie to rope and pull.
If I remember right, you need about 3 or 4 wraps of pre-tension on the recoil.
I didn't have enough tension on mine the first time and had to take it apart again. Twice!

Great idea thanks! rather pull than push. I am pretty sure mine broke right at the handle
After you get the rope through the handle and tie the knot, heat the knot with a lighter and pull tighter.
I didn't do this the first time and the knot eventually worked its way to the end of the rope and there I was taking it apart again.

That's so simple, it's brilliant. Thank you, I'm going to do that tomorrow.
just tie a knot right under the handle so if it comes apart it won't go all the way through anyways.
I was sick of this problem so I fab'd up a new tube, slightly larger than original, slides right thru. That's the easiest way because I KNOW I am going to have a recoil problem again.
