E-Axis assembly problems?

I'm feeling a little confused and could use some advice with Step 35 "Inserting the NYLON filament".

About how far should it be inserted? it only seems to go in a little way and doesn't poke through anywhere.

How much force is needed? I'm worried about putting too much force against the parts.

Thank you in advance for any advice and or suggestions you can offer. I flew through building the kit until I got to this step, and now I feel like I hit a brick wall.

Re: E-Axis assembly problems?

check to see if the hole is clean enough for the filament. I seem to recall me fighting with something around that point. it's possible I was trying to put it in the wrong hole. (never a good idea)

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

The filament should be pushed into the hole enough to hold it in place when gently tugged on, that is all. It does not poke out anywhere. It just needs to be retained in the hole.
