Gordon,

I've read all the other responses to your post, so far, and agree. The only 
thing
I will add, since you're dealing with all new parts, is to make sure that 
you have
at least a "rough" hammerline set (off the rest felt) and at least "some"
repetition lift. I'd also suggest setting the forward/back position of the 
jack
first. Then, just watch for a little "wink" when you trip the jack tail out 
from
under the knuckle. Hope this helps a little.
