1960's sonor drum lug rods and lugs.

hi..recently pulled an old Sonor Satin Flame kit out
of storage; but having a difficult time with some of
the lug rods threading the lugs..this kit is from the 1960's..I've tried a few different things; and different angles; without much success...i'd say 80 percent of the Bass Drum rods went in fine..but..the
rest just don't seem to want to go...i have 2 on a matching snare that are the same..any suggestions?
thanks, Steve

Hi, Steve-

It is difficult to offer advice without being able to see the drum. Here is the contact page for the Sonor company. Maybe they can help:

Also, some of our readers may have ideas for you.
