Those rubber drive rings are a pain to get on. You have to stretch it out a
bit over the metal ring.
I'd also recommend using a little "Locktite' to help it stay in place (Bob
recommended this to me).
You may find using a hammer and a piece of wood to wack the rubber ring in
place very helpful.

Follow-up:
After contacting Amaco, they gave me a different
number, where I spoke to a nice man named Bob. That
was yesterday. It was a dented-up rubber drive-thingie
and the new one will arrive this afternoon.
It feels good to report something so nice.

I really want to thank you guys for the help you have
given on so many subjects. It's amazing how that
feels...being out in the boonies and help at my
fingertips.
Re the ring: I will try that! I have also put stuff
like that in REALLY hot water, because it stretches
easily, for a very short time period. He (Bob) also
recommended using an eraser on the cone to make it
shiny, after which it should operate more efficiently.
I will see...the test will be done today - dramatic
music to accompany said words :)
Thanks again and may the clay be with you.

Hi Bill, Marianne, all...
One may likely heat the Rubber Friction-drive element to install it onto the
part it goes on.
That and maybe use a little slug of dish washing Soap in a glass of water to
lube it's getting on there.
I am guessing, I have never seen this drive up close, but that is what one
does with some kinds of Tires, the old Solid-Rubber ones, especially...or
with other kinds of Rubber Drive elements.
Sunlight on a bright day ( here anyway, ) can be enough...or, for something
small, a very low setting of one's kitchen Oven likely would do but be
vigilent of course not to roast the thing. Or set it in some Hot Water
maybe...
