Image:Base Step 4a Assembly.jpg|The bearings can be difficult to press in. Using a rubber mallet may help (or in a poor college student's case, an eraser and a hammer). A few light taps should do the trick.

'''NOTE:''' BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH THE "BASE TOP PANEL"!! IT IS FRAGILE, AND CAN BREAK EASILY, ESPECIALLY AS YOU TRY TO INSERT IT INTO THE BACK PANEL!! (personal experience - [[User:Pkiddy|Pkiddy]])
